Ingredients

• 4 pieces cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free white miso paste, gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with a rack set in the upper third of the oven.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly brush it with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the marinated cod fillets from the refrigerator, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the cod from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free miso cod immediately, accompanied by steamed rice or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
