Miso Maple Glazed Cod (Printable Version)

Tender cod with savory-sweet miso maple glaze, ready in 25 minutes with umami richness.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 4 cod fillets (about 5 oz each), skinless

02 - Salt, to taste

03 - Black pepper, to taste

04 - 3 tbsp white miso paste

05 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

06 - 1 tbsp soy sauce (regular or low sodium)

07 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar

08 - 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

09 - 1 clove garlic, finely grated

10 - 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

11 - 2 tbsp sliced green onions

12 - 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

13 - Lime wedges

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

02 - Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.

04 - Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or brush the miso maple glaze generously over the tops of the fillets.

05 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may require slightly longer.

06 - Remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges if desired.

01 -

The glaze comes together in minutes but makes you look like you spent hours perfecting the balance of flavors
Perfect for those nights when you want something impressive but absolutely do not have the energy for anything complicated

02 -

Broiling for the last minute or two creates this restaurant-quality caramelized crust but watch it like a hawk because the sugar can burn quickly
The glaze will thicken up in the oven and become even more flavorful, so do not be afraid to use it all

03 -

A microplane makes grating the garlic and ginger so much easier and ensures they dissolve right into the glaze
Room temperature fish cooks more evenly, so try to take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before you plan to cook
