Miso-Glazed Cod

This is one of the simplest recipes that the CC has ever provided. It's basically a "shake-n-bake" with fancier ingredients, and definitely what you want in summer time when it's too hot to cook.

The only caveat is that you must prep it a day before.

Prepare a small side-salad (also cold) and you have a simple summer meal.

Ingredients

2 cod fillets

1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup mirin
4 tbsp miso paste
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce

Recipe

Mix the ingredients together to a paste, and let the cod fillets marinate in it overnight in the refrigerator. (The CC just puts them all in a plastic bag.)

Turn the broiler on. Broil the fillets for 4 minutes.

(If you like you can reduce the marinade in a skillet over high heat and pour over the broiled fillets. This "pan sauce" is amazing!)

Summer Sizzle

The city has gone from cold and rainy to muggy and stifling in the blink of an eye! Even eating is hard to do let alone contemplate slaving over a hot stove for hours.

In that spirit, here's a terrific recipe for a marinade for fish.

Two tablespoons white miso, 4 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp sake.

Marinade the fish.

Put in a broil-proof pan, add more of the marinade on top and broil for four minutes.

Serve with a cool salad.
