Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine miso paste, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk together until smooth.
  2. Pat the cod loins dry with paper towels and coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Add the marinated cod and cook for about 3 minutes.
