Best 4 Nobus Den Miso Marinated Fish Recipes

NOBU'S DEN MISO MARINATED FISH

Steps:

• Cut fish into eight 4-ounce pieces. Place fish in one layer in a shallow dish. Pour 2 cups den miso over fish, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, turning once a day.
• Heat broiler to high. Remove fish from marinade, and place on a baking sheet, skin side down. Broil until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. With a flat spatula, turn fish, and broil 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

NOBU'S DEN MISO

Steps:

• Combine miso and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add sake and mirin, whisking to combine. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and color begins to darken, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat.

MISO-GLAZED FISH

Steps:

• Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
• Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
• Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
• Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

NOBU'S BLACK COD WITH MISO

Steps:

• Bring the sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over a high heat.
• Boil for 20 seconds to evaporate the alcohol.
• Turn the heat down to low and add the miso paste, mixing with a wooden spoon.
• When the miso has dissolved turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, stirring constantly to make sure it doesn't burn.
• Once the sugar is dissolved remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
• When the miso mixture has cooled a bit, cover the fish with the mixture and place in a non-reactive dish or bowl.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave to steep for 2-3 days.
• On the day of the dinner, preheat the oven to 200C as well as a grill.
• Grill the fish until its surface turns brown then bake for 10-15 minutes.
• Arrange the fillets on individual plates and garnish with the ginger.
