Miso Black Cod (Sablefish)
Flaky, rich, and tender, miso black cod (also known as sablefish) is a luxurious dish that’s both healthy and full of bold Asian-inspired flavors like miso, soy sauce, and sesame. Paired with rice, it delivers a restaurant-quality experience right at home. Ideal for busy weeknights or any time you want to enjoy something a little extra special.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar (mirin) or balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 5 black cod fillets (about 1.5 lbs.)
For the glaze and serving:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- steamed rice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a small bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper and mix well with a spoon until smooth.
- In a large Ziploc bag, add black cod and miso marinade. Press air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the fillets to coat. Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
- Remove the black cod fillets out of the bag and place them on a large half sheet baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until nicely browned. Let it rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. When the cod is cooked, the flesh will flake easily when inserting a fork.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce and sesame oil and drizzle over the cod fillets. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro and serve with steamed rice.
