Instructions
Prep-Ahead Steps
To a small saucepan, add the miso paste, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Heat over medium heat and whisk while bring to a simmer. Once all ingredients are dissolved and combined and the sauce is simmering, remove from the heat to cool. Let cool for 10 minutes or until room temperature.
Place the cod filets in a glass dish for marinating. Then pour HALF of the sauce over the cod. Reserve the other half for serving. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 400℉.
To a large sheet pan, add the olive oil and then the cod filets. Bake the cod 10 to 12 minutes, for thin fillets (about 1 inch thick), and 15 to 20 minutes for thicker fillets. The internal temperature should reach 135°F to 145°F.
Warm the reserved sauce in a saucepan for serving on top or on the side.
