Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoons red miso paste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
  • 2 pounds fresh cod
  • 3/4 pound fresh asparagus (washed and ends trimmed)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F and prepare two large pieces of aluminum foil and a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together miso, butter, and dark brown sugar.
  • Pat dry cod then place each piece on its own piece of foil.
  • Place miso butter mixture on top of cod and gently spread around with your fingers (see photo).
  • Put asparagus next to the cod, sprinkle salt on the asparagus then wrap the foil so the ends are sealed and so is the top (see photo).
  • Repeat for the other piece of cod and remaining miso butter and asparagus.
  • Place the foil packets onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven. Let the foil packets rest for 5 minutes, wrapped.
  • Carefully open the foil packets and serve directly from the foil packets on a plate!
