BROILED COD WITH SESAME-MISO SAUCE

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup miso, preferably red
2 tablespoons sugar (or 1 tablespoon each sugar and mirin)
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
1 1/2 to 2 pounds cod, in 1 or 2 fillets, preferably of equal thickness throughout
Extra virgin olive oil or neutral oil like corn or canola, as needed
Pinch cayenne

Steps:

  • Place oven rack 4 inches or less from heat source. Heat broiler. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, shaking pan until they color slightly. Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder or use a mortar and pestle.
  • Use a whisk to combine seeds with the miso, sugar and soy sauce. If the mixture is more like a paste than a sauce, thin it with a little water, mirin, or more soy sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning. (Sauce may be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.)
  • Brush fish with oil, then sprinkle on a bit of cayenne. Place fish on a baking sheet, preferably nonstick, and put in broiler. Cook, rotating sheet once so fish browns evenly on top and is cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. The fish is done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part meets a little resistance. Drizzle sesame-miso sauce on top, and serve.

BLACK COD BROILED WITH MISO



Black Cod Broiled With Miso image

Black cod with miso was not invented by Nobu Matsuhisa, the chef at Nobu in TriBeCa, but he certainly popularized it. His time-consuming recipe, which calls for soaking the fish in a sweet miso marinade for a couple of days, is a variation on a traditional Japanese process that uses sake lees, the sweet solids that remain after making sake, to marinate fish. If you broil black cod with nothing but salt, you already have a winning dish. If you broil it with miso - the intensely salty paste made from fermented soybeans - along with some mirin and quite a bit of sugar, you create something stunningly delicious. And no long marination is necessary.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup miso, preferably dark
1/2 cup mirin, sake or white wine
1 1/2 to 2 pounds black cod fillets (skin may be on or off)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler; set rack 3 to 4 inches from heat source. Combine first three ingredients in a small saucepan and, over low heat, bring almost to a boil, stirring occasionally just until blended; mixture will be fairly thin. Turn off heat.
  • Put fillets in an ovenproof baking dish or skillet, preferably nonstick, and spoon half the sauce on top. Broil until sauce bubbles and begins to brown, then spoon remaining amount over fish. Continue to broil, adjusting heat or rack position if sauce or fish is browning too quickly, until fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
