15-Minute Frozen Miso Cod

15-Minute Frozen Miso Cod

A fast, glossy miso glazed cod dinner made with frozen cod fillets, white miso, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. It cooks in about 15 minutes and pairs beautifully with rice and green vegetables.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 frozen cod fillets, about 5 ounces each, thawed or partially thawed
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups steamed green vegetables, such as bok choy or broccoli
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, grated garlic, and sesame oil until smooth.
  3. Lightly grease the skillet or air fryer basket. Pat the cod fillets very dry with paper towels.
  4. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top and sides of the cod fillets.
  5. Cook the cod for 4 to 5 minutes per side in the skillet, or air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily and reaches 145°F.
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion while warm.
  7. Serve with cooked white rice and steamed green vegetables.

Notes

  • Pat the cod very dry so the glaze sticks and caramelizes properly.
  • Use white miso for the mildest, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Do not overcook the cod, since it becomes dry quickly.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten free option.
