Directions
Whisk together miso paste, sake, brown sugar and mirin in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup miso mixture to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Add the cod to the remaining miso mixture; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
Place oven rack 6 in. from heat. Preheat boiler to HIGH. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick spray.
Drain cod fillets and place in prepared baking pan; discard marinade. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. reserved marinade over each fillet.
Broil for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; drizzle with remaining reserved marinade. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes more or until cod flakes easily with a fork (145 degrees) and edges are golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add spinach, 1 tsp. sesame seeds, sesame oil and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or just until spinach begins to wilt, stirring frequently. Serve spinach with the cod. Garnish with additional sesame seeds, if desired.
