Miso Marinated Black Cod (Print)

Buttery black cod marinated in white miso, mirin, and sake, then broiled to caramelized perfection with a bright lemon finish.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Miso Marinade

01 - 1/4 cup white miso paste
02 - 1/4 cup mirin
03 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
04 - 2 tablespoons sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons sake (optional, can be substituted with water)

→ For the Black Cod

07 - 4 black cod fillets (approximately 6 oz each), skin-on
08 - Fresh lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
09 - Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and sake (or water, if substituting) until smooth.
02 - Place the black cod fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
03 - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
04 - Remove the fillets from the marinade and gently wipe off any excess. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
05 - Serve the black cod hot, garnished with chopped green onions and lemon wedges, if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a more intense flavor, allow the fish to marinate overnight.
