Cedar Plank Miso Cod

Instructions

• 1Place the cedar plank in the roasting pan and cover with cold water. Place a heavy bowl on top to keep the plank submerged and allow to soak for approximately 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 2Place the water and salt in a bowl and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the cod and set aside for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the marinade.
• 3To make the marinade, place all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large resealable bag.
• 4Remove the cod from the brine and pat dry with paper towel. Place in the bag with the marinade, seal and refrigerate while the plank is soaking. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 5Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 350°F, for 3 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 6Place the mustard seeds on the pizza pan.
• 7Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 3 minutes.
• 8Move the wire rack to position 2. Adjust the oven. Select Phase Cook for P1 and set the oven to Bake, Convection, 300°F, for 12 minutes. Press Confirm for P2 and set the oven to Broil, High, for 6 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, place the sake, vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 mintues. Add the toasted musard seeds and set aside until needed.
• 9To make the maple mustard, place the maple syrup and English mustard in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until serving.
• 10Drain the water from the pan and return the plank to the pan. Remove the cod from the marinade and place on the plank.
• 11When the oven signals, place the pan in the oven and bake for 12 minutes in P1. The oven will automatically switch to P2.
• 12The cod is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 122°F. If not, broil a little longer.
  Tip: The size of the cod fillets can alter the cooking time. For best results, using a probe, test for doneness 3-5 minutes before the end of the cook. If you don’t have a probe, cod is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
• 13Add the mustard seeds, draining any excess pickling liquid, to the mustard maple mixture and stir to combine.
• 14Spoon the maple mustard over the cod and serve.
