🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

For the Vegetables:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups baby bok choy, halved
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth

For the Cod:
- 4 black cod fillets
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Miso Glaze:
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

For Garnish:
- 2 green onions, chopped

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Start with the Miso Glaze: In a small saucepan, mix white miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves, then set aside to cool.
2. Marinate the Cod: Generously apply the miso glaze on the black cod fillets. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Cook the Cod: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In an ovenproof skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. Sear the cod for about 2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is flaky.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium. Add garlic and ginger; sauté until aromatic. Include shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender. Add baby bok choy, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and broth. Cook until bok choy is tender and the sauce slightly thickens.
5. Assemble and Serve: Spread the vegetables onto plates, top with a cod fillet, and drizzle with the remaining miso glaze. Garnish with green onions.

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡

- If white miso is too strong for your taste, try using a lighter miso for a subtler flavor.
- Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the cod to achieve a beautifully seared crust.
