Miso Grilled Cod (鱈の味噌焼き) is made by marinating cod fillets in a miso-based sauce and grilling them in a frying pan. The fermented miso paste helps tenderize the fish while adding a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors. If you start marinating in the morning, the fish will be perfectly seasoned and ready to cook by dinnertime. It’s a healthy and delicious main dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
