Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 baby bok choy, washed and halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado or vegetable oil)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. Place the cod fillets in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and cook for 3 minutes.
- Flip the fillets gently using a spatula and brush the tops generously with the miso glaze. Cook for another 3–4 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the cod from the skillet and set it on a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, add neutral oil. Place the halved baby bok choy cut-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Flip the bok choy and cook for another 2 minutes. Add a splash of water to the skillet to steam the greens slightly, then remove from heat.
- Serve the cod over a bed of bok choy. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
