Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Empty the miso soup sachet into a jug and top up with 400ml of boiling water. Stir in the sesame oil, vinegar, mirin, lime juice and chilli flakes.

In a deep roasting tin (about 20 x 30cm), group together the broccoli to make two rafts for the fish. Scatter the rest of the green veg around and pour over the miso stock.
- STEP 3
Mash together the butter, brown miso and sesame seeds or furikake with some pepper. Spread 1/2 over the top of each cod fillet, then sit each on top of a broccoli raft. Roast for 20 minutes until the cod flesh is just flaking, and the veg is just cooked but still a little crunchy.
