Ingredients
- 4 fillets black cod
- 3 tablespoons white miso substitute (chickpea miso)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso substitute, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
Step 2
Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are fully coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to penetrate the cod.
Step 4
Preheat your oven broiler to high (around 500°F or 260°C).
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the cod from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Broil the cod in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Watch closely to avoid burning, as the sugars might caramelize quickly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Step 9
Transfer the cod fillets to serving plates, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Miso Cod with your choice of vegetable sides or cauliflower rice.
