Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowl For preparing the miso glaze
  • Brush or Spoon For coating the cod fillets with glaze
  • Baking sheet For broiling the fish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets cod skinless, about 6 oz each
  • ¼ cup white miso paste mild and slightly sweet
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for depth of flavor
  • 2 tablespoons honey adds sweetness and caramelization
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar adds a hint of acidity
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for a subtle nutty aroma
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
  • Place cod fillets in a shallow dish and coat with the miso glaze. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the cod fillets on the baking sheet and broil for 6-8 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, brush on more miso glaze halfway through broiling.
  • If using frozen cod, thaw completely and pat dry before marinating.
  • Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried greens for a complete meal.
