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.

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:
Whisk all ingredients together until emulsified.
Pour over warm farro and toss well to absorb.
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
