How to Make Nobu Black Cod Miso Recipe?

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

2. Heat it until it starts to bubble, then turn the heat down and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add the miso paste and stir until it’s smooth.
4. Stir in the sugar until it melts and let the sauce cool down.

Step 2: Marinate the Cod

1. Dry the fish with paper towels.
2. Put the fish in a container or a big plastic bag.
3. Pour the cooled sauce over the fish and make sure all the fish is covered.
4. Close the container or bag and put it in the fridge for at least one day so it soaks the flavors.

Step 3: Cook the Cod

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with foil or baking paper.
2. Take the fish out of the sauce and wipe off any extra sauce.
3. Put the fish on the baking sheet.
4. You will need to bake the fish for about 10-15 minutes until it’s cooked. For a crispy top, you can put the fish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.

What to Pair with Nobu Black Cod Miso Recipe?

This Nobu Black Cod Miso Recipe can easily be paired with many different side dishes and drinks.

I personally had this tasty salmon recipe with a side of steamed jasmine rice and sautéed baby bok choy which was a great combination for a Asian-inspired meal.

When it comes to drinks a Sauvignon Blanc or a lightly oaked Chardonnay will pair very well with the savory flavors of this dish.

If you also fancy something sweet to top off this recipe then I suggest having the tasty Yuzu Ice Cream which would work very well.

Tips

• If you are short on time you can marinate the fish for just 6-8 hours and still get a tasty salmon.
• If you like a deeper umami flavor, you can use a darker miso paste or reduce the amount of sugar for a less sweet marinade.
• If you prefer it spicy you can always add hot sauce or chilli flakes.

FAQ

Is salmon a must for this recipe?

Of course, feel free to use any kind of fish such as sea bass or salmon. Depending on the fish you may need to cook it a bit longer or maybe less.

Do I need to marinate the fish?

It’s not always needed to marinate for too long, but when marinated longer it will taste much nicer. You could always marinate for a couple of hours if you haven’t got the time.

Can I freeze the fish?

Of course, you can freeze the first up to one month. But when ready to cook make sure you thaw overnight and avoid cooking it frozen.

What if I don’t have sake or mirin?

If you don’t happen to have sake you can use dry sherry or white wine instead. For mirin, you can mix rice vinegar and sugar which works as a good replacement.
