In this Miso Glazed Recipe, buttery soft cod is pan sauteed in a spicy sweet miso glaze and served with soy and ginger spinach and onions. This is a nutritious and tasty one-pan dish that you can easily make at home with just a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients

For the Sauteed Spinach and Onions

  • 2 tbs Oil
  • 1 red onion
  • ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cups frozen spinach
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tsp white sesame and 1 tsp black sesame
  • Chili flakes to garnish

For the Miso Glazed Cod

  • 1 lb. cod
  • 2 tbsp Oil to coat bottom of the pan
  • 2 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes

Instructions

  • First, peel and chop up the onion (I chopped it so there were long thin pieces)
  • Peel and grate a knob of ginger using a Microplane grater so you have ½ a tsp (for the
    spinach) and 1 tsp (for the cod) of freshly grated ginger.
  • Add oil to cover the bottom of a pan and place over medium heat.
  • Add the onion to it and saute for 5 minutes.
  • Then add in the ginger and saute for another 5 minutes.
  • Add in the frozen spinach and saute until it is heated through (about 5 more minutes or so).
  • Then add in the soy sauce and sesame seeds and toss until all ingredients are mixed well.
  • Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Cover and set aside until cod is cooked.
  • Let's make the miso glaze by mixing the white miso together with the honey, soy sauce, and ginger together very well.
  • Then add in the chili flakes and mix well.
  • Rinse and pat dry the cod and cut it into individual serving pieces.
  • Then brush one side of the pieces of cod with the miso glaze.
  • In the same pan that was used for the spinach, add in about 1 tbsp of oil and very
    carefully, swirl it around the bottom of the pan.
  • Add in the cod, with the miso-glazed side down, and let saute about 4-5 minutes so the miso glaze caramelizes and the cod is cooked.
  • Brush the other side of the cod with the miso glaze and flip cod to cook on the other
    side as well. Let cook another 3-4 minutes or until cod flakes easily when prodded with a fork.
  • Serve cod warm with spinach and onions.
