Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons, toasted Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 0 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler on high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
Step 5
Using a spoon or brush, evenly spread the sesame miso sauce over the top of each cod fillet, ensuring the surface is well-coated.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the tops are slightly caramelized and golden. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.
Step 7
Carefully remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish the fillets with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a crisp side salad for a complete meal.
