A traditional Japanese recipe that’s a breeze to make. It's delicious served over rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Ingredients

Uncooked Pacific cod

1½ pound(s), four 6 oz black cod or regular cod fillets

Miso

¼ cup(s)

Dark brown sugar

2 tbsp(s)

Mirin

1 fl oz, about 2 tablespoons

Ginger root

1 tbsp(s), freshly grated

Dark sesame oil

1 tbsp(s), dark-variety

Rice wine vinegar

¼ cup(s)

Uncooked scallions

¼ cup(s), sliced very thin (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place fish, skin-side down, in a broiler-proof pan.
  2. Place miso, sugar, mirin, ginger, oil and vinegar in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour glaze over cod and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat broiler to high.
  4. Broil fish until topping turns golden brown and starts to caramelise, and fish is no longer translucent in middle, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve garnished with scallions. Yields 1 fillet per serving.

Notes

Change the flavour of this recipe by adding chili or more ginger to the sauce and by finishing it with toasted sesame seeds or chopped cilantro (could affect Points values).
