MISOYAKI BUTTERFISH
Misoyaki Butterfish is a classic Hawaii recipe (you can even buy it at Costco Hawaii!) It's call butterfish, because the texture is rich and buttery. Just marinate black cod fillets in this miso marinade, then cook in the oven.

Steps:
- Make the marinade. Combine mirin, sake, and sugar in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn the heat to low.
- Add the white miso. Simmer and whisk for 5-10 minutes until the marinade is smooth and caramel in color. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Wash and pat dry the black cod fillets (make sure it is completely dry). Place all four filets into a large Ziploc bag. Pour the cooled marinade over the fish. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
- When you're ready to eat, wipe (do not rinse) excess marinade from the fish. Cook in the oven at 450F for 5-8 minutes. Then broil for 1-2 minutes, until the top is deeply caramelized and golden.
- Eat with rice! Enjoy ^_^
MISO BUTTER
Years ago, David Chang of Momofuku showed me how to create a fantastic compound butter with miso. Use it melted on fish, chicken or steak (lots of umami); on asparagus, broccoli or carrots; or drizzled on a baked sweet potato (or a regular baked potato).

MISO BUTTERFISH
Sweet Japanese marinade combined with the buttery fish called butterfish. The flavor has an amazing buttery taste combined with a sweet taste and a hint of Japanese rice wine. Goes well with white rice and asparagus, pan-fried in olive oil with a squeeze of lemon.

MISOYAKI BUTTERFISH
A dear friend of mine sent me this recipe ... one of my favorites. Misoyaki butterfish combines the Japanese flavors of sake and miso. Butterfish which is also known as black cod, deep sea cod, sablefish, gindara and snowfish may be found fresh or sometimes flash frozen. I use the Hawaiian Miso & Soy Company brand soybean paste. I haven't tried it yet with the ginger ... next time : )

Steps:
- Add the sake and mirin to a heavy bottomed pot and bring to a boil for about 10-15 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Next, turn down the heat and stir in the sugar and miso. Cook until it turns a pale caramel color. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
- To prepare the fish, it first needs to be defrosted. Once that's done, rinse in cold running water and then pat dry with a clean paper towel.
- Place into a Ziploc® bag. I add the miso marinade and then let this sit in the refrigerator for 48-72 hours.
- **72 hours later** Remove your filet from the Ziploc® bag.
- Add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil to a skillet which is on medium-low heat. Add your fish to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turn then cook for another 4-5 minutes, you're ready to serve.
- Serve with hot rice and maybe some tsukimono, salad greens and miso soup.
- NOTE: My friend's comment: If you bake the fish in a foil lined container ......... no mess; works in a toaster oven too. If you like that the skin to be crispy, bake until turns black. You can also do this on a grill by wrapping the fish in tin foil, but to make skin crispy you have to fry it after taking it off the grill.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and texture, select fresh and firm butterfish. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes and a shiny, intact skin. - For a more intense miso flavor, use a darker miso paste, such as red or black miso. - To achieve a crispy skin, pat the fish dry before cooking and score the skin lightly. This will allow the heat to penetrate the fish more easily. - To prevent the butterfish from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or grease the pan with a little oil. - Cook the butterfish over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. - Baste the butterfish with the melted miso butter throughout the cooking process to keep it moist and flavorful. - Serve the butterfish immediately with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.Conclusion:
Miso butterfish is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the crispy skin and flaky fish, makes this recipe a surefire hit. Experiment with different types of miso paste and accompaniments to create your own unique variations.
