There was a time I trembled at the thought of cooking fish...I was scared stiff the result would be slippery, stinky or Sahara-like dry. Well, thanks to Lisa, who created this Asian-inspired recipe of Orange Miso Cod and Soba Noodle Salad, I have conquered my cookafishaphobia. I feel so silly...how could I have feared this easy-to-make, delicate orange miso glazed cod perched atop a salad of Japanese soba noodles, juicy orange slices and fresh basil?

For the cod, preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Pat the cod dry with paper towel and place skin side down on baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk miso paste, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and orange zest. Divide mixture among fillets and spread evenly over the top of the fish. Bake 9 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Place under broiler for 1 minute to lightly brown the top. Remove from oven.
