Method
- 1
Mix the white miso paste, mirin, sake and caster sugar in a bowl, then smear thickly over the cod fillets. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes; longer, even overnight, gives a deeper flavour.
- 2
Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.
- 3
Heat the grill to medium and scrape most of the miso marinade off the cod to stop it burning.
- 4
Line the grill pan with foil and grill the cod for 4 minutes, then turn carefully and grill for 4-5 minutes more until the fish flakes easily, is opaque all the way through and the miso has caramelised in patches.
- 5
Serve with the rice, scattered with the spring onions.
