Many of my friends are fish-lovers and order it out all of the time – but won’t even attempt to make it at home. They are intimidated, don’t want to under/overcook and are also hesitant of the odor it will leave in the kitchen. I have been making Miso-Glazed Cod (and Salmon) for quite some time now and have a foolproof recipe that will smell and taste delicious!

Recently I ate at Myers + Chang and was psyched to see miso-glazed carrots on their menu, which prompted this two-for-one miso meal. I added steamed spinach to round out my plate, but any green would do. And as usual, this meal will be on the table in less than 30 minutes!

Miso-Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

  • 1.5-2lbs organic carrots
  • 3 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp. white miso paste

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and peel carrots; pat dry and set aside.
  3. Whisk remaining ingredients together.
  4. Place carrots in a large Ziploc bag and cover with ½ the sauce; mixing together until carrots are completely covered.(Reserve the other ½ sauce for the fish).
  5. Set aside for at least an hour (up to 1 day).
  6. Line a baking sheet with tin foil; spray with oil and line with carrots.
