I know most of my recipes here are vegetarian...but this one is just TOO good to not put up. Sake House is Leucadia has by far the best Black Cod with Miso I have ever had. Nobu's is pretty darn good too. This is a slightly modified version of Nobu's recipe from their cookbook. I am sooooo into it these days.
Ingredients:
2-3 black cod fillets (about 1 lb)
For the marinate:
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin - a rice cooking wine, pretty readily available and delicious
4 tablespoons white miso paste
3 tablespoons sugar
To Make:
- Mix the marinate ingredients thoroughly in a plastic container (with lid) and set aside.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and put them into the plastic container with the marinate. Cover the lid and leave to steep in the refrigerator overnight or for a few days...
- Transfer fish and marinate to cast iron pan (or baking dish).
- Put in Broiler, until browned...and perfect.
- You can substitute black cod for see bass or salmon or any kinds of flaky fish fillets.
- There are many different kinds of miso (red, brown, white, and more). Use white miso.
