Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Cod fillets
• 0.25 cup White miso paste
• 0.25 cup Sake
• 0.25 cup Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 2 for garnish, thinly sliced Green onions
• 1 tablespoon, toasted Sesame seeds
• 0 as needed Cooking oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the white miso paste, sake, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, and grated fresh ginger. Mix well 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 and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking oil.

Step 4

Remove the cod fillets from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Broil the cod for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is cooked through and has a beautiful caramelized glaze.

Step 6

While the cod is cooking, toast the sesame seeds by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the cod fillets to a serving platter and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables for a complete meal.
