Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons Soy-free white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the soy-free white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix them together to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

In an oven-safe skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated cod fillets to the pan, searing for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden crust.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the sliced scallions over the cooked cod fillets for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the Soy-Free Miso Cod with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty finish. Pair with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
