Ingredients

2 cod loins
1 tablespoon miso paste
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 garlic clove finely chopped or minced
1 spring onion green onions, sliced

Instructions

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Spoon it all over the cod loins, cover and leave in the fridge to marinade for 1 hour.
Heat a non-stick frying pan with 3 tablespoon of vegetable or other odourless oil on medium heat. Add the cod and fry for 3 minutes. Then cover with the lid and fry for another 3 minutes. Take the lid off, turn the cod over and increase the heat to high and cook for another minute. (You may need to adjust timings based on how thick your fish pieces are - ours were 4 cm thick).
Scatter some spring onion on top and serve!
