Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup white miso paste
  • 120g
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 60ml
  • 2 tbsp sake
  • 30ml
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 25g
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 15ml
  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless cod fillets
  • about 170g each

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce until smooth and well combined.
  2. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Spread a thin layer of the miso marinade over all sides of each fillet. Place the fillets in a dish, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the broiler to high (about 500°F or 260°C) or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Remove the cod from the marinade and gently wipe off excess. Place the fillets on a lined baking sheet or broiler-safe dish. If broiling, brush lightly with additional marinade if desired.
  5. Broil or bake the fish until opaque and flakes easily, about 8-12 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning the miso glaze.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite sides.
