Miso-Glazed Cod with Greens

Miso has a way of making a straightforward piece of fish taste far more interesting than the effort involved. Here it is mixed with ginger into a savoury glaze that catches in the oven while the pak choi softens underneath. The result is clean, deeply savoury and very easy to live with midweek.

Method
Serves 4 · about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Heat the oven to 200C / 180C fan and line a baking tray.
Stir the white miso paste with the grated ginger and water to make a loose glaze.
Arrange the cod fillets and pak choi on the tray, then brush the cod generously with the miso mixture and spoon the rest over the pak choi.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cod flakes easily and the pak choi is tender at the stalks.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Scatter the tray with spring onions, black pepper and the toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Cook's tip
If your cod fillets are thick, give them the full 15 minutes; slimmer tail pieces may be ready a little sooner.
