Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2¼ cups water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand (covered) for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, using a spoon, mash together butter, ginger, garlic, 3 teaspoons of the miso and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix well, then fold in bread crumbs.
- Step 3
Arrange cod on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, spread 1 teaspoon of miso over each fillet. Divide the miso-butter-bread crumb mixture equally and sprinkle in an even layer on top of each fillet, pressing gently but do not pack. Roast until top is golden and fish is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, about 12 to 14 minutes.
- Step 4
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add broccoli, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until crisp-tender and charred, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Serve cod with charred broccoli and brown rice.

Keep fresh ginger in the freezer; surprisingly easy to both peel and grate (Microplane best) without the stringiness. Plus, you'll always have a supply :)
Used less miso on second attempt, 2 teaspoons miso in crumb mixture and didn't coat the fillets at all. Also added 1 teaspoon of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness. Much better.
This is a pro tip from Karen-I mixed all of the miso with the garlic, ginger, butter, (and a few hot pepper flakes), then coated the fish with oil, s&p and the marinade. Prior to baking, I coated the filets in the panko. The fish was very flavorful and the panko crust crispy. Served with green beans in oyster sauce and red pepper flakes. Delicious!
Simple and amazing! Added red pepper flakes for some kick on top right before baking in the oven.
Odd recipe in that it's 3 recipes in one... I ignored the rice & broccoli, did my own sides. Turned out great. On advice of others, I cut back miso to 2 tsp in the crumb mixture only, and per dietary restrictions, omitted garlic. Miso/garlic/butter combination flavor was delightful. Works great on cod. 100% will do again!
No salt for the rice? And brown rice cooking in 20 minutes?
