MISO-GLAZED BLACK COD



Miso-Glazed Black Cod image

This is my take on the oft requested miso-glazed, black cod, made famous by chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides. I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top, and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the bones pull out with no effort, and the meat flakes.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 (7 ounce) black cod fillets

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the aluminum foil.
  • Whisk miso paste, water, mirin, sake, and brown sugar together in a small skillet over medium heat until mixture simmers and thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Place cod fillets on prepared baking sheet. Brush fillets all over with miso mixture. Rest fillets at room temperature to quickly marinate, 15 to 20.
  • Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue broiling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove pin bones.

For Nobu-style Saikyo Miso
saké
3/4 cup (150 ml) mirin

BLACK COD BROILED WITH MISO



Black Cod Broiled With Miso image

Black cod with miso was not invented by Nobu Matsuhisa, the chef at Nobu in TriBeCa, but he certainly popularized it. His time-consuming recipe, which calls for soaking the fish in a sweet miso marinade for a couple of days, is a variation on a traditional Japanese process that uses sake lees, the sweet solids that remain after making sake, to marinate fish. If you broil black cod with nothing but salt, you already have a winning dish. If you broil it with miso - the intensely salty paste made from fermented soybeans - along with some mirin and quite a bit of sugar, you create something stunningly delicious. And no long marination is necessary.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup miso, preferably dark
1/2 cup mirin, sake or white wine
1 1/2 to 2 pounds black cod fillets (skin may be on or off)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler; set rack 3 to 4 inches from heat source. Combine first three ingredients in a small saucepan and, over low heat, bring almost to a boil, stirring occasionally just until blended; mixture will be fairly thin. Turn off heat.
  • Put fillets in an ovenproof baking dish or skillet, preferably nonstick, and spoon half the sauce on top. Broil until sauce bubbles and begins to brown, then spoon remaining amount over fish. Continue to broil, adjusting heat or rack position if sauce or fish is browning too quickly, until fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.

NOBU'S BLACK COD WITH MISO



Nobu's Black Cod with Miso image

This is a recipe for cod from Mark Edwards, the chef at Nobu (said to be London's best Japanese restaurant). There is no measurement given for the sake, so a bit of intuition is needed. Hopefully the guesswork will pay off though. This is their signature dish so it must be worth the effort! Apparently you can also substitute salmon for cod.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest black cod available: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes and firm, moist flesh.
  • Use high-quality sake: Sake is an important ingredient in this dish, so it's worth investing in a good bottle. Look for a sake that is junmai or honjozo grade, and that has a clean, slightly fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Black cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Black cod is best served immediately after it's cooked. The fish will continue to cook as it sits, so it's important to eat it while it's still hot and flaky.
  • Garnish the fish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Black cod with miso is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The miso marinade infuses the fish with a rich, savory flavor, and the sake adds a subtle sweetness. The fish is cooked gently until it is flaky and tender, and it is served with a simple garnish of fresh herbs. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
