Miso Glazed Cod With Ginger-Citrus Farro and Asian Slaw

The Asian Slaw came from Wegman’s, pre-packaged, so all I had to do was add the almonds, croutons and dressing. Super easy and yum!

A restaurant-worthy meal you can make at home!

This miso-glazed cod is flaky, flavorful, and paired with nutty farro tossed in a citrus-ginger dressing. Add crisp Asian slaw and fresh scallions from the garden, and you’ve got a dinner bowl that hits every note—umami, crunch, and a hint of sweetness.

  • Quick weeknight dinner

Miso glazed cod recipe above.
Ginger-Citrus Farro. Cook farro according to directions on package.


Dressing:

Citrus-Ginger Farro Dressing (No Soy/Sesame)
Ingredients:

  • Juice of 1 orange (or 2–3 tbsp OJ)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice

  • 1–2 tsp freshly grated ginger

  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • Pinch of chili flakes or dash of hot sauce (optional)

  • Salt to taste

  • Optional: chopped scallions, mint, or cilantro for freshness


Instructions:

  1. Whisk all ingredients together until emulsified.

  2. Pour over warm farro and toss well to absorb.

  3. Top with chopped fresh herbs or toasted almonds if you like a little crunch.

This dressing is light, gingery, and bright, which complements the cod’s miso glaze without competing. You could even grate a little garlic or add finely diced cucumber for a bit more depth. Let’s put it all together!

Serving Tip:
Serve in a wide, shallow bowl for best presentation and easy layering. It’s all about the textures and contrasts—soft flaky fish, chewy grains, crunchy slaw, and a pop of citrus and herbs.


Bowl Components:

1. Base: Citrus-Ginger Farro

  • Spoon in a generous layer of the warm (or room temp) farro tossed with citrus-ginger dressing.

  • Optional mix-ins: chopped scallions, cilantro, mint, or thinly sliced radish for crunch and color.

2. Protein: Miso-Glazed Cod

  • Place a miso-glazed cod fillet right on top or slightly to the side.

  • Spoon a little extra glaze over the fish for shine and flavor.

3. Crunch: Asian Slaw

  • Add a colorful handful of your Asian-style slaw off to one side for visual contrast.

  • Let it spill naturally into the farro — the juices will add even more flavor.

4. Finishing Touches:

  • Sprinkle with:

    • Sliced scallions

    • Toasted sesame seeds or chopped roasted almonds
