Garlic Ginger Miso Black Cod Recipes

MISO-GLAZED BLACK COD

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the aluminum foil.
• Whisk miso paste, water, mirin, sake, and brown sugar together in a small skillet over medium heat until mixture simmers and thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Place cod fillets on prepared baking sheet. Brush fillets all over with miso mixture. Rest fillets at room temperature to quickly marinate, 15 to 20.
• Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue broiling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove pin bones.

BLACK COD WITH MISO GLAZE

Steps:

• 6-8 hours before cooking, marinate the black cod. If you feel comfortable that you have very fresh fish, marinade for up to 2 days.
• Bring the sake (or sherry), mirin, miso paste and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Let boil for 30-45 seconds to evaporate the alcohol. The miso glaze will turn a caramel color. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Pat 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 the refrigerator for 6 - 8 hours. For even better results, marinate for 2 to 3 days in advance.
• To cook the fish: Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets, but don't rinse it off. Coat the cod with a little oil then place the fish skin-side-up on the pan and cook until the flesh of the fish browns and blackens in spots, about 3 minutes.
• Flip and continue cooking 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.
• For the Coconut Rice
• Melt the butter in a heavy 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring, until just fragrant. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the coconut milk, water, salt, sugar, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the lime zest. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Let stand off the heat, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, top with more zest, if you like, and serve.

GARLIC-GINGER-MISO BLACK COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 the ginger, 1/2 the garlic, coconut aminos, vinegar, avocado oil, miso, and sesame oil in a blender and process until sauce is smooth.
• Place cod in a baking dish and pour sauce on top. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• Smash remaining garlic and place on top of fish in the baking dish. Add the remaining sliced ginger and dab ghee on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil to desired caramelization and doneness, 3 to 5 minutes more.

MISO-GLAZED COD

Steps:

• Preheat your broiler. Line a baking pan with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray.
• Combine miso, vinegar, hot water, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl and beat with a whisk until smooth.
• Place cod in the baking pan and sprinkle with pepper.
• Spread miso mixture on the top of each cod fillet.
• Broil the fish 5 inches from the heat until just opaque in the center, 5-8 minutes.

BLACK COD BROILED WITH MISO

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.

BAKED COD WITH CRUNCHY MISO-BUTTER BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand (covered) for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• In a small bowl, using a spoon, mash together butter, ginger, garlic, 3 teaspoons of the miso and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix well, then fold in bread crumbs.
• Arrange cod on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, spread 1 teaspoon of miso over each fillet. Divide the miso-butter-bread crumb mixture equally and sprinkle in an even layer on top of each fillet, pressing gently but do not pack. Roast until top is golden and fish is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, about 12 to 14 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add broccoli, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until crisp-tender and charred, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Serve cod with charred broccoli and brown rice.

MISO-GLAZED FISH

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.
