Ingredients
- ¼ cup Mirin
- ¼ cup Sake
- 4 Tbs. Shiro miso paste
- 4 Tbs. Sugar
- 3 Tbs. Diced Garlic
- 4 Black Cod Filets, about ½ pound each
- 2 Tbs. Sesame Oil
- Toasted Sesame Seeds, for garnish
- Sliced Green Onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Place mirin and sake into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat to cook off the alcohol.
- Simmer for about 2 minutes and add miso and garlic, stir until combined. Stir in the sugar and sesame oil and remove from heat and allow it to cool.
- Pat the black cod fillets and dry them with paper towels, slather the fish with the cooled miso marinade and place it in a bowl or pan and cover with plastic wrap. The fish can marinate in the refrigerator for up to eight hours.
- When you’re ready to cook the fish, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove excess miso from the fillets and place the fish skin-side up in a heated, lightly oiled pan and cook for three minutes each side to sear the outside to golden brown.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
