- A serving stays under about 420 calories, so it can sit inside an ordinary day.
- Sodium is high, mostly from salt, fish sauce, soy, or cured seasonings.
- Contains alcohol. Skip it in pregnancy and whenever you avoid alcohol, or use the swap.
- Fish here is a commonly eaten, lower-mercury choice when fully cooked. Follow your own pregnancy fish guidance.

1Set the oven to 400°F / 204°C and leave it for 15 minutes so the rack is actually hot. Weigh cod, white miso, mirin, sake, honey, fresh ginger, scallion, kosher salt, toasted sesame oil. Miso-glazed cod is cooked in Kyoto as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Paint the cod with sweet miso and bake it until the glaze spots and the fish flakes. Black cod is the usual fish. This pantry weighs cod and cooks it through. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

2Line the pan with parchment. If this is Miso-glazed cod, a bare pan is the usual reason the first slice sticks. Butter only the parchment, not a pool of fat.

3Stir the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Combine them until the batter or dough for Miso-glazed cod is even, with no dry streaks and no long mixing after that.

4Scrape the mixture into the pan and level the top. Miso-glazed cod bakes evenly only when the center is not a dome of unmixed batter.

5Bake at 400°F / 204°C until this is true: A skewer in the center of Miso-glazed cod comes out with a few moist crumbs, and the top springs back. Start checking at 33 minutes. Opening the door early drops the heat.

6Cool Miso-glazed cod in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a rack. Cutting while it is steaming collapses the crumb. Film Miso-glazed cod in this shot order and no other: the fridge shelf where the plate will chill; aromatics softening without color; herbs cut in at the end; a grill grate just before the food lands. Slate words for the editor: flake, velvety, kilnfire, zestline, linen, yarrow, ladle, blister, sear, glaze.

How you know it is done
A skewer in the center of Miso-glazed cod comes out with a few moist crumbs, and the top springs back.
If it goes wrong
- Miso-glazed cod looks done on top and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue in the method, not the color alone. Give it a few more minutes and check the center.
- Miso-glazed cod spread, sank, or turned out dry. Measure by weight next time, heat the oven fully, and stop when the doneness cue appears rather than when the timer ends.
Storage
Cool Miso-glazed cod completely. Keep it covered at room temperature for 2 days, or wrap and freeze for a month. Refrigerate custard, cream, and fresh-fruit fillings the same day and eat them within 3 days.
How this dish helps your daily life
- Miso-glazed cod is one of the plates people ask for by name from Kyoto.
- Every ingredient is weighed, so the calorie, protein, and sodium lines come from the table rather than a guess.
