Baked Cod with Miso

24th January 2012 By Urvashi Roe

This is a super quick recipe that I invented today when I was in a bish-bash-bosh kinda mood! We had this with some plain boiled rice and wilted spinach.

baked cod with miso

You’ll need

  • 1 small cod fillet
  • 1 teaspoon brown rice miso – I used the Clearspring brand readily available in Sainsbury’s
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 tsp yuzu juice – I used a Japanese brand available online at Japan Centre (optional. You could use lime instead)
  • Sesame seed oil for drizzling
  • Sesame seeds for sprinkling

To make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Cut out a square piece of foil approx 25 cm wide.
  3. Pour some sesame seed oil over the fish and rub it in gently.
  4. Place the fish in the centre of the foil square and dollop the miso on top. Smooth it out over the fillet with your fingers or a knife.
  5. Sprinkle over some chopped spring onions.
  6. Wrap the foil up over the fish so you have a parcel.  Be careful there are no holes or it will not steam.
  7. Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Open the parcel and drizzle over the yuzu juice and sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
  9. Serve piping hot with rice to soak up the lovely miso juices.

See bish -bash-bosh! and tasty too.  We had this for our special Chinese New Year meal but I think it’s going to become a staple on the menu now..
