Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces black cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the white miso paste, sugar-free mirin, sake, grated ginger, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth to form the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the black cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for a stronger flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the cod from the marinade, letting any excess drip away, and place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the fillets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish the baked miso cod with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
