SAUTEED COD ON SNOW PEAS AND CABBAGE WITH MISO SESAME VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Make vinaigrette:
- Purée all vinaigrette ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Sauté cabbage:
- Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic until golden, about 30 seconds. Add cabbages and snow peas and sauté until cabbages are wilted and peas are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a bowl, then wipe skillet clean.
- Cook fish:
- Heat oil in skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté cod, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
- Divide cabbage among 4 plates, then top with fish and drizzle with some dressing. Serve remainder on the side.
MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING
This all-purpose miso-sesame vinaigrette is great on a simple salad with lettuces and fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onions, radishes, jicama or grated carrots, or in this Chicken and Cabbage Salad. Try it drizzled on an iceberg wedge, over sliced leftover steak, chicken or tofu, or on grilled seafood, served hot or cold. It's especially good with grilled salmon and spicy greens like watercress, mizuna or arugula.

Steps:
- Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
- With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
- Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.

Steps:
- Place oven rack 4 inches or less from heat source. Heat broiler. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, shaking pan until they color slightly. Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder or use a mortar and pestle.
- Use a whisk to combine seeds with the miso, sugar and soy sauce. If the mixture is more like a paste than a sauce, thin it with a little water, mirin, or more soy sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning. (Sauce may be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.)
- Brush fish with oil, then sprinkle on a bit of cayenne. Place fish on a baking sheet, preferably nonstick, and put in broiler. Cook, rotating sheet once so fish browns evenly on top and is cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. The fish is done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part meets a little resistance. Drizzle sesame-miso sauce on top, and serve.

Tips:
- Select the freshest cod possible: Fresh cod should have a mild, briny smell and firm, white flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has a slimy texture.
- Soak the snow peas in cold water before cooking: This will help them to retain their crispness.
- Don't overcook the cod: Cod is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Use a light hand with the miso sesame vinaigrette: A little bit goes a long way. You can always add more if needed.
Conclusion:
This sautéed cod on snow peas and cabbage with miso sesame vinaigrette is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The cod is cooked to perfection and the vegetables are crisp and flavorful. The miso sesame vinaigrette adds a delicious umami flavor to the dish. If you are looking for a new way to cook cod, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
