Fish

  • 2 skinless cod fillets (about 140 g each)
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Greens

  • 250 g tenderstem broccoli or pak choi
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  1. Make the glaze. Mix the miso, honey and soy sauce. Heat the grill to high.
  2. Grill the fish. Put the cod on a lined tray and spread with the glaze. Grill about 10 cm from the heat for 8–10 minutes, until it flakes easily and is opaque all the way through (63°C). If the glaze darkens too fast, cover loosely with foil. (9:00)
  3. Cook the greens. When the fish has about 4 minutes left, stir-fry the greens in the sesame oil with the garlic and a splash of water for 4 minutes. (4:00)
  4. Serve. Serve the fish on the greens with the sesame seeds scattered over.

Chef’s tip

Line the tray with foil. The glaze sticks as it caramelises.

Storage

Best eaten fresh.

Swap it

Salmon or hake work well too. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and check the miso label.
