MISO-GLAZED BLACK COD



Miso-Glazed Black Cod image

This is my take on the oft requested miso-glazed, black cod, made famous by chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides. I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top, and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the bones pull out with no effort, and the meat flakes.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds halibut steaks, about 1-inch thick (to be cut into 6-ounce serving portions)
1/2 cup sweet white miso (shiro miso)
1/3 cup sweetened rice wine (mirin)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced scallion greens

Steps:

  • Rinse the fish steaks under cold, running water and drain thoroughly in a colander. Cut the steaks into six pieces and place in a bowl.
  • Add the Miso Marinade to the fish steaks and toss lightly to coat the fish steaks. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or for several hours.
  • Prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling and place the grill about 3 inches above the coals. Remove the fish from the Miso Marinade, spreading the Marinade with your hands so that there is a light coating. Arrange the fish steaks on the grill and cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque all the way through. Alternatively you may broil the fish about 7-9 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife. The miso glaze should bubble and brown at the edges. Remove and serve with steamed rice and stir-fried or steamed vegetables.

MISO-GLAZED FISH



Miso-Glazed Fish image

Most recipes for miso-glazed fish are for salmon, because fatty fish are well suited for this preparation and salmon is particularly delicious. Nobu Matsuhisa is known for his miso-marinated black cod, which he marinates for two to three days. I can't imagine finding fish fresh enough to marinate for that long, so in my recipe I marinate the fish for a few hours before broiling and then finishing, if necessary, in the oven. The marinade is based on the Matsuhisa recipe, but I've reduced the sugar considerably.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 salmon, trout, Arctic char, mahi mahi or black cod fillets, about 6 ounces each

Steps:

  • Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
  • Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
  • Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

MISO-GLAZED SEA BASS



Miso-Glazed Sea Bass image

Fish baked in miso is quintessentially Japanese, but I first learned about it years ago from the very American James Beard. Miso marries well with oily fish like salmon, mackerel or black cod, but mild firm-fleshed fish like sea bass or halibut also make fine candidates. Simply coat fish fillets or steaks with a mixture of miso, sake, mirin and a little ginger. An egg yolk may be added to help burnish and glaze the fish under the broiler. Serve with a pile of wilted greens dabbed with sesame oil.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds sea bass, mackerel or cod, skin off, and cut into a dozen 2-ounce slices
1 tablespoon white miso
1 tablespoon red miso
1 tablespoon sake
1 tablespoon mirin
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
2 egg yolks
Salt
1 pound tender mustard greens or spinach, stemmed and washed
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pickled ginger, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lay fish slices in a shallow glass or earthenware baking dish. Put white and red miso, sake, mirin, soy sauce, ginger and sugar in a small bowl and stir well.
  • Dot half the miso mixture evenly over fish, then rub with fingers to lightly coat slices. Leave to marinate 10 to 15 minutes. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Beat egg yolks into remaining miso mixture. With a spoon, smear tops of fish slices with this egg-enriched mixture. Bake on top shelf of oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until fish is firm, then place pan under broiler to glaze. Broil 1 to 2 minutes until topping begins to brown. With a spatula, transfer fish to serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups well-salted water to a boil in a wide stainless steel skillet. Add mustard greens and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain in colander, rinse briefly with cold water, then press out excess water with wooden spoon. Transfer to serving dish. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with thin slices of pickled ginger.

MISO-MARINATED SALMON



Miso-marinated salmon image

Ever wondered what to do with the Japanese paste miso? This variation of a classic Nobu fish dish is a great place to start

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tbsp pale (shiro) miso paste
2 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp saké (optional)
2 x 100g salmon fillets
half a cucumber
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp vegetable oil
pinch caster sugar

Steps:

  • Stir together the miso, mirin, sugar and sake, if using. Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a medium food bag and cover with the miso marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 mins or, better still, overnight.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Use kitchen paper to wipe off the marinade (don't be tempted to wash it off as you will lose some of the flavour). Place the fillets on the baking tray, skin side down. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, oil and sugar. Toss the cucumber ribbons in the dressing, then curl them up on two plates. Serve with the salmon and some plain white rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh fish fillets. Look for firm, plump fillets with bright eyes and a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a light touch when handling the fish fillets. Fish is delicate, so be gentle when you're removing the skin and bones.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish is best cooked until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked fish is dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality miso paste. Miso paste is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough. The glaze should be thick enough to coat the fish fillets evenly. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the fish and not caramelize properly.
  • Broil the fish fillets until they are caramelized. The glaze should be caramelized and bubbling when the fish fillets are done. This will give the fish a delicious sweet and savory flavor.

Conclusion:

Miso glazed fish fillets are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fish. The miso paste adds a rich, complex flavor to the fish, and the glaze caramelizes to create a crispy, flavorful crust. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
