- Miso paste — Choose a high-quality miso paste, preferably white or yellow miso, for a milder flavor that complements the Indo spices.
- Cod fillets — Opt for fresh and sustainably sourced cod fillets to ensure the best taste and texture.
- Indo spices — Toasting the cumin, coriander, and turmeric in a dry pan before grinding them will enhance their flavors.
Tips & Tricks
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the marinated cod fillets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes.
- For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over the grilled cod just before serving.
- Serve the Indo-style Grilled Miso Cod with steamed basmati rice and a side of cucumber raita for a complete Indo meal experience.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the miso marinade.
- Make sure to monitor the grilling time closely to prevent overcooking the delicate cod fillets.
Serving advice
Serve the Indo-style Grilled Miso Cod as the main dish, accompanied by steamed basmati rice, a refreshing cucumber raita, and a side of naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra touch of freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the grilled cod fillets on a platter, drizzle any remaining miso glaze over them, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for an attractive presentation. Serve with a wedge of lime on each plate for guests to squeeze over the fish before enjoying.
