Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb Black Cod
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons sake
- 1/3 cup white miso paste
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate. In a small saucepan, heat the mirin and sake and simmer 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol. Whisk in the white miso and the sugar until smooth and dissolved. Transfer the marinade to a large baking dish and let cool (reserve 2 tablespoons of marinade in a separate small bowl if wanting to make the miso aioli) . Add the fish to the cooled marinade, sprinkle with a little salt, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours, or up to 3 days.
- Cook. Preheat the oven to 400°. Gently brush off the marinade from the fish, into the baking dish, and don’t rinse the fish. Heat a little oil in a heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Place the fish, skin side up, in the skillet and sear until golden and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes. Turn over, and crisp up the skin, 2-3 minutes. Spoon a little marinade over the top of the fish, then place the fish in the oven to finish baking for 8-10 minutes, until flaky and golden.
- Serve this with Furikake rice and a veggie side dish!
Notes
Tip: Broiling the fish can give it a nice deep color- but the marinade burns very quickly and easily. Leave 6-8 inches between broiler and fish, and watch it like a hawk!
