    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 4
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    4 (5-oz.) Fish Market fresh Alaska cod fillets, 3/4 to 1 in. thick
    ½ c. white miso paste
    ⅓ c. sake
    ¼ c. packed Hy-Vee brown sugar
    ¼ c. mirin sweet cooking rice wine
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee vegetable oil
    1 (8-oz.) pkg. spinach
    1 tsp. sesame seed, toasted; plus additional for garnish
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee toasted sesame oil
    ¼ tsp. coarsely ground Hy-Vee sea salt

    Things To Grab

    • Paper towels
    • Large bowl
    • Small bowl
    • Large rimmed baking pan
    • Hy-Vee nonstick cooking spray

    Directions

    1. Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels.

    2. 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.

    3. Place oven rack 6 in. from heat. Preheat boiler to HIGH. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick spray.

    4. Drain cod fillets and place in prepared baking pan; discard marinade. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. reserved marinade over each fillet.

    5. 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.

    6. 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.
