How To Make Miso Butter Fish With Asparagus

Baking the fish fillets and asparagus is easy and simple to prepare.
First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan after baking. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Next, rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Cut the rest of the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and transfer to the baking sheet. Season with salt and toss well with vegetable oil. Pat dry the cod with kitchen papers and place it on the baking sheet with the skin side facing down. The soul of the dish is this amazing miso mixture, which is combined with melted butter, white miso, sriracha, sugar, grated garlic, and ginger. Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated and smooth. Then, add the melted butter to the panko to make a crispy topping. Spread the fish with one or two spoonfuls of miso mixture, and gently press the butter panko onto it. Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish and asparagus are tender and cooked through. Broil for 3 minutes or less to get a golden brown crunchy top. Remove from the oven, and toss the remaining miso mixture with the asparagus for a delightful umami touch. Serve immediately.
