Ingredients
- 4 pieces black cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the white miso paste, sugar-free mirin, sake, grated ginger, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth to form the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the black cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for a stronger flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Remove the cod from the marinade, letting any excess drip away, and place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the fillets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish the baked miso cod with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
