Baked Miso Fish

Hello, friends. Things have been quite hectic on my end lately — loads of homework and deadlines but through it all, there are many exciting recipes in the making.
In the meantime, this dinner happened last night.
I didn’t make it for the blog. I was simply in the mood for something different and thought I’d whip up a quick marinade with the forgotten miso in my fridge. Luckily, I took a picture and jotted down the ingredients, just in case it turns out good. It was far better than I expected. It was to-die-for delicious, and I decided to post it because I knew you would appreciate how easy and boldly flavorful it is as much as I did. We share common culinary tastes around here after all, don’t we?

I always tend to overcomplicate things but simple recipes like this remind me that recipes don’t need to have a million ingredients and steps to be delicious. Thank you!

This sounds/looks super delish!
Can I leave out the Sriracha? I’m not a fan
is there a sub?
merci carolg

I think it sounds just fantastic! And plenty of Sriracha in mine please.

Carol– you can use harissa or Tabasco instead.
Kalyn–LOVE Sriracha too!

Oh I just love this recipe and can not wait to try it. I have baked cod in a miso and sake marinade in the past, but I love the sound of the sriracha. I wonder how it would be with Asian Rice Vinegar?

It sounds delicious! I would think that baking for 30 minutes would make the fish dry, though I am not sure how thick a one pound cod filet is. Can’t wait to try it! :)

This was delicious! And mine was not dry at all. Definately will be making this again- thank you :)

I have never (yes, never) baked fish for a total lack of fear in ruining a great piece of fish. I know this may seem silly- but do I cover the fish in the oven with a lid or tin foil or leave it uncovered?
Thank you so much!!

Tamara, no need to cover the fish. Happy baking !
