Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium white miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets and ensure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor absorption.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated cod fillets onto the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 6
While the cod is cooking, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Once the cod is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions before serving.
Step 8
Serve the low sodium miso cod with steamed vegetables or a side of your choice to keep the meal nutritious and balanced.
