Ingredients
Miso Glaze
- 0.5 cup white miso paste
- 0.25 cup mirin
- 0.25 cup sake (or dry white wine)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
Main Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) black cod fillets skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Miso Glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, soy sauce, and grated ginger until smooth.
- Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso glaze over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Do not marinate for too long as the miso can make the fish too salty.
Cook the Black Cod
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
- Remove the cod fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the fillets, skin-side down if applicable, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized crust, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving immediately.
Notes
