BAKED COD WITH CRUNCHY MISO-BUTTER BREAD CRUMBS
Shiro miso, also known as white miso, is a fermented mash of soybeans and rice with an incredibly rich, sweet flavor that packs a punch. It pairs particularly well with ginger and garlic, and is combined here with those aromatics, butter and panko bread crumbs for a crisp coating. As it bakes, the miso crust caramelizes and forms an addictive flavor that elevates the mild cod.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 1/4 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs, stir to coat with butter, then cook, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest. Let cool. Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

- Transfer baking sheet to oen and bake until fish is no longer translucent (cut to test) and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cod fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Pat the cod fillets dry before cooking: This will help the breadcrumb coating adhere better to the fish.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating: Panko breadcrumbs are made from Japanese bread and have a light, airy texture that crisps up well in the oven.
- Season the breadcrumb mixture with salt, pepper, and herbs: This will add flavor to the coating and help it adhere to the fish.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the cod fillets before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture: This will help the breadcrumbs stick to the fish.
- Bake the cod fillets in a preheated oven until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
