NOBU'S MISO-MARINATED BLACK COD RECIPE
This is
a classic Japanese recipe for black cod that makes an easy, elegant dinner for
guests or a quick main dish you can prep over the weekend.
Servings : 4
INGREDIENTS
·
1/4
cup sake
·
1/4
cup mirin
·
4
tablespoons white miso paste
·
3
tablespoons sugar
·
4
black cod fillets, about 1/2 pound each
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Two
to 3 days beforehand, make the miso marinade and marinate the fish. Bring the
sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Boil for 20
seconds to evaporate the alcohol. Turn the heat down to low, add the miso paste,
and whisk. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high
again and add the sugar, whisking constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't
burn on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully
dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
2.
Pat
the black cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slather the fish with
the miso marinade and place in a non-reactive dish or bowl and cover tightly
with plastic wrap. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
3. To
cook the fish: Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat an oven-proof skillet over high heat
on the stovetop. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets, but
don't rinse it off. Film the pan with a little oil, then place the fish
skin-side-up on the pan and cook until the bottom of the fish browns and
blackens in spots, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the other
side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 to 10
minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
NOTES
· Instead
of cooking the fish on the stovetop, you can do this step on an outdoor grill
or under the broiler in your oven.
