miso glazed cod

With a partially used miso paste package in the fridge, I've been pondering what it could be used for besides an endless supply of miso soup.

The first time I had miso cod was at Nobu. Having said that, I assumed I would never be able to replicate the dish. Apparently, it's not as complicated as I thought, pretty much the exact opposite. I love simple!

Actually, I should probably clarify. The following recipe is nobu-"inspired."



Miso Glazed Cod

Ingredients:
Atlantic Cod (1 pound)
Brown miso paste (5 tbsp)
Honey (3 tbsp)
Brown Sugar (2 tbsp)
Sesame Oil (1 tbsp)
Mirin (1 tbsp)
Sesame seeds (optional)

1) Mix together miso paste, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, and mirin. Spread the mixture over the cod. Sprinkle sesame seeds and let marinate for about 20 minutes.


2) Bake the cod at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until fish is thoroughly cooked throughout.

I also cooked up some baby bok choy and lots of garlic to serve w/ the cod.







Nom nom nom!
