Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute (like erythritol)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix white miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sugar substitute until well combined. This is your marinade.
Place cod fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the cod from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cod fillets for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once baked, garnish the cod with thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious low-carb miso cod!
