Nobu’s Miso-Marinated Black Cod
July 24, 2015
I made this Kaiseki style dinner. Kaiseki or kaiseki-ryōri is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. The term also refers to the variety of skills and techniques used to prepare the dishes. We had this Miso Marinated Black Cod several times while we were in Japan. I really like it. It's very mild and sweet tasting and easy to make. The main thing is that you have to marinate it for at least 24 hours or up to 3 days.

Directions
1Two to three days beforehand, make the miso marinade and marinate the fish.
2Bring the sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Boil for 20 seconds to evaporate the alcohol. Turn the heat down to low, add the miso paste and whisk. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, whisking constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
3Pat the black cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slather the fish with the miso marinade and place in a non-reactive dish or bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Leave to marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
To cook the fish:
1Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat a grill or broiler. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets but don't rinse it off. Place the fish skin-side-up on the grill, or in a broiler pan, and grill or broil until the surface of the fish browns and blackens in spots, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill or broil until the other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
