Ingredients
- 2 black cod fillets
- sushi rice
- scallion
- sesame seeds
Marinade
- 3 tbsp sake
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 cup white miso paste
- 0.33 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- 1In a small saucepan, combine 3 tbsp sake and 3 tbsp mirin; bring to a boil over medium‑high heat.
- 2Reduce the liquid by half, stirring occasionally, until the volume is roughly 3 tbsp.
- 3Lower the heat to medium‑low and whisk in ½ cup white miso paste, ⅓ cup sugar, and 2 tbsp soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved.
- 4Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature, about 10‑15 minutes.
- 5Place the 2‑3 black cod fillets (cut into bite‑size pieces) in a shallow dish and pour the cooled miso glaze over them, tossing to coat evenly.
- 6Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 3 nights, turning the fish once daily to ensure even marination.
- 7When ready to cook, preheat the oven’s broiler to high (about 500°F / 500°F) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- 8Pat the marinated cod pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a caramelized crust.
- 9Arrange the cod pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- 10Broil the fish for 8‑10 minutes, watching closely; the glaze should turn glossy and slightly charred without burning.
- 11Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
- 12Serve the broiled miso black cod over a bed of warm sushi rice, garnished with chopped scallion and, if desired, a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
