Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 cod fillets on a lined sheet pan and brush each generously with the miso glaze. Arrange 8 halved baby bok choy around the fish, drizzle with 1 tbsp sesame oil, and season with a pinch of salt.
  3. Step 3: Roast everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily and baby bok choy edges are slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the top, then serve immediately.
