Miso Glaze Cod

Fancy but easy

-Wild caught cod (about 4 filets)

-1-2 tbsp miso paste (I used white)

-1-2 tbsp honey

-black pepper (to taste)

-parsley

-3 cloves Mince garlic

-Avocado oil (or any high-temp cooking oil, for pan)

Note: Miso paste is already salty—do not add extra salt. Mix and taste your marinade before adding the fish.

Instructions

1.   Make the Marinade:
In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, black pepper, parsley, garlic, and water. Taste and adjust honey or pepper if needed.

2.   Marinate the Cod:
Add cod fillets to the bowl and coat them well. Let it marinate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours in the fridge.

3.   Cook the Cod:

        Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with avocado oil (or your choice of oil).

        Once the pan is hot (after about 2–3 minutes), gently place the cod in.

        Cook for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 5 minutes.

        Be careful not to overcook—cod is delicate and should flake easily when done.

4.   Serve and Enjoy:
Plate it with your favorite sides and pour yourself a glass of white wine—you’ve earned it.

Perfect Pairings

Wine:
