Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, sake, mirin, honey, and grated ginger to create the marinade. (5 minutes)
~5 min - 2
Place the black cod fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the miso marinade over the fish, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
~30 min - 3
Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. (2 minutes)
~2 min - 4
Remove the cod from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the fish on the prepared baking tray. (1 minute)
~1 min - 5
Broil the cod for 6-10 minutes, or until caramelized and cooked through. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. (8 minutes)
~8 min - 6
While the cod is broiling, trim the woody ends off the asparagus. In a medium saucepan, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain immediately. (5 minutes)
~5 min - 7
In a small bowl, toss the blanched asparagus with yuzu juice and toasted sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
~2 min - 8
Serve the miso-glazed black cod immediately with the yuzu-sesame asparagus. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. (1 minute)
~1 min
Tips
- For deeper flavor, you can marinate the cod overnight. Ensure the fish is well-covered and tightly sealed.
- If you don't have yuzu juice, a mix of lemon and lime juice can be a decent substitute, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
