Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup brown miso
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Four 8-ounce black cod fillets, skin on
Vegetable or canola oil, for the grill
3 limes, halved

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for medium heat.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the mirin, sake and sugar and bring to a simmer on the grill. Whisk until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the grill and whisk in the miso, sriracha and rice vinegar. Cool.
  • Place the cod fillets into a zip-top bag. When the miso mixture has cooled, pour over the cod, seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. The longer fish marinates, the better.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 400 to 450°F.
  • Liberally grease the grates of your grill with the oil.
  • Remove the fish from the marinade and allow the excess to drain off.
  • Meanwhile, place the limes, cut-side down, onto the direct heat side of the grill and grill until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place the fish, skin-side down, on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is flaky and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a serving platter and squeeze 1 of the grilled limes all over the fish. Serve with the remaining grilled limes.

2 (8 ounce) fillets cod, cut in half
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon lemon pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter

JULIE'S BAKED OR GRILLED BLACK COD TERIYAKI



Julie's Baked or Grilled Black Cod Teriyaki image

Black cod is my favorite fish... a tender, white, non-fishy fish that goes wonderfully well with teriyaki sauce. If you've never had black cod, do yourself a favor and find some! It is also known as "sablefish." I can sometimes find it served in Japanese restaurants, and occasionally served smoked in Scandinavian restaurants. I usually purchase mine in Ballard (a Scandinavian Seattle neighborhood) markets or at Uwajimaya (Seattle Asian grocery) or Ranch 99 Markets (Tukwila Asian grocery).

Provided by Julesong

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 black cod steaks
2 teaspoons melted butter
1/2 cup teriyaki marinade
2 cloves garlic, minced
black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if you're going to bake the steaks).
  • Mix together the melted butter, marinade, garlic, and a few dashes of pepper.
  • Pour the mixture over cod steaks in a shallow glass dish, and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • To bake: bake in a casserole or baking dish in the marinade at 350 for about 20-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
  • To grill: cook on a grill pan on your stove, turning carefully once, until fish flakes easily, about 15 to 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with marinade. I've also done it using a Foreman grill, brushing occasionally with marinade, until it flaked easily; it can take anywhere between 10-15 minutes, depending on your Foreman.
  • Serve with steamed white rice, a little of the juices poured over.

PAN FRIED COD WITH ASIAN DRESSING



Pan Fried Cod with Asian Dressing image

Make and share this Pan Fried Cod with Asian Dressing recipe from Food.com.

Provided by JustJanS

Categories     Sauces

Time 32m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

60 ml light soy sauce
40 ml rice wine vinegar
1 pinch five-spice powder
40 ml sesame oil (original recipe uses double this but I think it kills the flavour of the fish)
salt and pepper
1 bunch spring onion, finely shredded
1 red chile, very finely chopped
6 blue-eye cod fish fillets (175-225g each)
plain flour, seasoned with
salt and pepper, for dusting
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, boil the soy sauce, vinegar and 5 spice powder together.
  • Remove from the heat, mix in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Set aside.
  • Mix the spring onions with the chilli.
  • Lightly coat the fish fillets with seasoned flour.
  • Heat the knob of butter in a fry pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) until cooked.
  • Reheat the dressing and add the onions and chilli-cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Serve the fish with the dressing spooned over.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cod fillets. Frozen cod can be used, but it will not have the same flavor and texture as fresh cod.
  • Marinate the cod fillets for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Use a grill pan or a well-oiled grill grate to cook the cod fillets. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the cod fillets over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The cod is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the grilled cod fillets with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
