Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice

- 2 tbsp red miso paste
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp raw honey
- 1/2 tsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 yam or sweet potato, cut into
- 1/3-inch-thick slices

- 2 tbsp crumbled toasted nori (seaweed paper)

Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Cook rice according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a small food processor, process garlic until minced. Add miso, lime juice, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger and 2 tsp water; process until very smooth.
- Spread yam slices on one sheet; mist both sides with cooking spray. Roast for about 30 minutes, turning halfway, until very tender.
- Place cod on second sheet. Mist both sides with cooking spray and brush 1 tbsp miso mixture on both sides.
