Delicious Miso Glazed Cod Recipe for a Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets cod (skinless and boneless)
  • 1 cup white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions for garnish (chopped)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix the miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until smooth.

    For a smoother marinade, whisk vigorously.
  2. Marinate the Cod

    Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    A hot oven will help to caramelize the glaze.
  4. Bake the Cod

    Place the marinated cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes.

    The cod is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Remove the cod from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

    Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
