Nobu Style Miso Black Cod

Nobu Style Miso Black Cod

A buttery, tender miso glazed black cod with a glossy caramelized finish, served with rice and baby bok choy for an elegant Japanese inspired meal.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes active time, plus marinating time
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 black cod fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1/3 cup white miso paste
  • 1/4 cup mirin style non alcoholic seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cups cooked white rice, for serving
  • 4 heads baby bok choy, steamed or sautéed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together white miso paste, mirin style non alcoholic seasoning, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until smooth. Let the marinade cool completely.
  3. Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish or zip bag, coat with the cooled marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Remove the fish from the marinade and gently wipe away excess marinade.
  5. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until opaque and flaky.
  6. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a caramelized top, watching closely.
  7. Rest for 3 minutes, then serve with cooked white rice, baby bok choy, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight gives the deepest flavor.
  • Wipe off excess marinade so the glaze caramelizes instead of burning.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten free version.
  • Serve immediately for the best silky texture.
