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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
Remove the cod from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the cod fillets for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Once baked, garnish the cod with thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
Step 7
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious low-carb miso cod!
