Broiled cod with sesame-miso sauce

"The sauce is the real star in this recipe. You can thin it with some water and use it as a salad dressing or serve it with just about any meat, fish or vegetable. It's great with fish! Try it on beans, asparagus, tuna, chicken or pork, it's wonderful!"

  1. I made something similar using a vague recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow on Oprah. She recommended a thick fish, although used Flounder. I substituted Cod as in your recipe, but used mirin as the second ingredient. I thought her recipe had too much sauce (Miso is not cheap) so I cut it down to 4 TBS/3TBS. I didn't think of thinning it with water. I cooked it for 20 minutes at 400 (until carmelized. Sesame seeds would add a nice touch and still be simple.
