Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 ounces each) cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 2 scallions scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 4 wedges lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Whisk together the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth. This will be your miso glaze.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a large plate or tray.
Brush the miso glaze generously over both sides of each fillet. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and let the cod marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and lightly grease it with the neutral cooking oil.
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable, and discard any leftover marinade.
Broil the cod for 7-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish to prevent the glaze from burning.
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the fillets to serving plates. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
