The sauce is the real star in this recipe. You can thin it with some water and use it as a salad dressing or serve it with just about any meat, fish or vegetable. It's great with fish! Try it on beans, asparagus, tuna, chicken or pork, it's wonderful! Ingredients:
1/4 cup sesame seeds |
1/4 cup miso, preferably red |
2 tablespoons sugar (or 1 t. each, sugar and mirin) |
1 tablespoon soy sauce, to taste |
1 1/2-2 lbs cod, in 1 or 2 fillets,preferably of equal thickness throughout |
extra virgin olive oil |
1 pinch ground red pepper |

2. Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan until they color slightly.
3. Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle.
4. Whisk together sesame seeds, miso, sugar and soy sauce.
5. Thin with a little water, mirin or more soy sauce if too thick.
6. Adjust seasoning.
7. This sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
8. Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with red pepper.
9. Place fish on a baking sheet; place under broiler and cook, rotating sheet once so fish browns evenly on top and is cooked through, 6-10 minutes.
