Ingredients
 
 

  • 800 g cod fillet skinless, in 8 portions
  • 8 tablespoon plain flour
  • 4 tablespoon oil for shallow frying

Marinade

  • 5 tablespoon mirin
  • 5 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon dry sherry I used French Pineau

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the cod.
  • Leave covered in the fridge to marinate, ideally overnight.
  • Dip the cod in the flour, back to the marinade, then back to the flour.
  • Heat about 1 cm of oil in a pan and fry over a medium heat  for a few minutes each side until crisp and cooked through.

Notes

Top tips
  • use a thicker piece of fish such as cod steaks or loin rather than thin fillets for best results
  • if using defrosted fish make sure that it is well drained before marinating
