Last night, my dinner was divine. So good, in fact that I went into a food coma after eating it and forgot to blog. So now I blog.
I made miso-glazed cod and broccoli with toasted garlic. Not only was this dinner restaurant quality delicious, it was really easy. The cod marinade called for the following ingredients: white miso, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and mirin (Japanese cooking wine). I was able to find all of these ingredients in a commercial grocery store except for the white miso, so I improvised. The only thing close to white miso that I could find was instant miso soup mix, so I bought it and I used it. And it was awesome. I have found that improvising substitution ingredients in recipes is always either a hit or miss, but it is worth it to try because those few hits are incredible. I brushed this marinate on the fish, let it sit in the fridge for a little while, then broiled the fish for like 5 minutes. So easy. So mouthwatering. If you like asian food and seafood, you would LOVE this fish.

Then for a side dish, I made broccoli with toasted garlic. I microwaved the broccoli with a little bit of water in the microwave for a few minutes, toasted some garlic with olive oil over the stove, then combined the two. YUM.
