Preparation
Thick cuts are best the cod loin fillets. Thinly slice the cucumber. Halve the green beans.
Method
- 1 Prepare the miso marinade
- 2 Place all the marinade ingredients (except the cod) in a glass or plastic (non-reactive) dish, and mix well.
- 3 Pat the pieces of fish dry with paper towel, then add to the marinade and coat well.
- 4 Cover, and leave in the fridge to marinade for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
- 5 Prepare the cucumber
- 6 Place the cucumber slices in a bowl and add salt.
- 7 Toss to coat, and set aside for 10 minutes.
- 8 Rinse under cold water to get rid of the salt, and drain well.
- 9 Transfer to a bowl, and dress with the mirin and rice vinegar.

- 12 Preheat oven to 230C.
- 13 Cook sushi rice according to pack instructions.

- 16 Bake for 10–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish, then remove from the oven.
