Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for serving

Method
 

  1. Set broiler to high with a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Whisk miso, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce until smooth.
  2. Pat cod dry, brush with sesame oil, season lightly with salt, then spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  3. Broil glaze side up on a foil-lined sheet until golden and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, brush with any extra glaze, and broil 2 minutes more until flaky.
  4. Plate the cod, spoon over pan juices, and finish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Drying the cod thoroughly before glazing is the single most important step for a good sear under the broiler. Keep a close eye during the second broil, because the sugar can go from caramelized to burnt quickly.
