Ingredients
- 4 6 oz Cod fillets
- 3 tbsp White miso paste
- 2 tbsp Mirin (gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Gluten-free soy sauce (Tamari)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 2 Green onions
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 4 Lime wedge
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- 3
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the glaze adhere better.
- 4
Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each cod fillet.
- 5
Heat the avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cod fillets, glazed-side down, for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
- 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute or two.

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with rice or your favorite sides. Squeeze fresh lime juice optional.
Tips & Notes
- •For a deeper glaze, broil the cod for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- •If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the seared cod to the prepared baking sheet to finish baking.
- •To ensure even cooking, choose cod fillets that are roughly the same size and thickness.
