Miso Cod Recipe
I recently tried this Miso Cod recipe, and I have to say, it was a game-changer for my weeknight dinners! The sweet and savory miso marinade infuses the fish with such rich flavor, while the broiling process gives it a beautifully caramelized finish. It’s an incredibly simple recipe that feels restaurant-worthy. Here's how you can make it at home:Ingredients
- 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Procedure
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat the Broiler: Position your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler on high.
- Broil the Cod: Remove the cod from the marinade and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, as the marinade can caramelize quickly.
- Serve: Transfer the cod to serving plates and sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite veggies.
