Miso Marinated Cod with Baby Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms – Gluten Free
This dish was so amazing! It sounded good when I was asked to make it but I had no idea how much I would love it! I easily made this recipe gluten free which got me even more excited.
I love that the cod has an amazing flavor from the marinade and equally delicious is the bok choy and mushrooms. They were flavored with a little garlic and sesame oil. Individually, both pieces to this recipe are delicious on their own but when paired, it’s was like a party in my mouth 🙂
I marinaded the cod overnight in a freezer bag, I think any less wouldn’t infuse all the flavor. So buy fresh cod and marinade overnight. The next day you will have a super delicious, healthy meal ready in 20 minutes. Yeah that’s right, 20 minutes!
Chopped up some baby bok choy stems and reserved the leaves.
Sliced up some shiitake mushrooms.
I placed the cod on a greased sheet. I just sprayed it with some coconut oil.
While the cod was baking I cooked up the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms.
After baking the cod for about 10 minutes I turned the oven to broil and broiled the cod for 2 to 3 minutes to give the top a nice crispiness. Serve cod on a bed of bok choy and mushrooms and give yourself a pat on the back cause that shiz is damn good!

Seems like maybe you forgot something — miso broth? Are you buying that in a jar, ready-made, or you making it yourself? If so, can you provide of a description of how you make it?
Thanks.
Hi. While I wish I was ambitious enough to make my own miso broth, I actually purchased it at Sprouts. I would imagine Whole Foods would carry it also. It was with the other broths (chicken, beef, vegetable, etc). Hope you find it. If you can’t, maybe there is a recipe online you could use. Hope this helps.
