Ingredients

miso soup sachet 1
sesame oil 2 tsp
Japanese rice vinegar 1 tbsp
mirin 1 tbsp
lime 1, juiced
dried chilli flakes a couple of pinches
tenderstem broccoli 8 spears
spring onions 3, trimmed then thickly sliced
green beans 100g, trimmed then thickly sliced
edamame (soya beans) 150g, (see notes below)
unsalted butter 2 tsp, softened
brown miso 1 tbsp
sesame seeds (black, white or a mixture) or furikake seasoning 1 tbsp, (see notes below)
chunky cod fillets 2

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Empty the miso soup sachet into a jug and top up with 400ml of boiling water. Stir in the sesame oil, vinegar, mirin, lime juice and chilli flakes.
Step 2

In a deep roasting tin (about 20 x 30cm), group together the broccoli to make two rafts for the fish. Scatter the rest of the green veg around and pour over the miso stock.
Step 3

Mash together the butter, brown miso and sesame seeds or furikake with some pepper. Spread ¹/2 over the top of each cod fillet, then sit each on top of a broccoli raft. Roast for 20 minutes until the cod flesh is just flaking, and the veg is just cooked but still a little crunchy.
