Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, sake, mirin, and sugar until well combined to create the marinade.
~5 min - 2
Add the black cod fillets to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the fish to marinate.
~30 min - 3
Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
~2 min - 4
While the broiler heats up, prepare the asparagus. Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
~3 min - 5
In a small bowl, combine the yuzu kosho and sesame oil. Toss the asparagus with this mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange the seasoned asparagus on one side of the prepared baking tray.
~5 min - 6
Remove the marinated black cod from the refrigerator. Place the fish fillets on the other side of the baking tray, next to the asparagus.
~1 min - 7
Place the baking tray under the broiler. Broil for 6-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on the fish as broilers can vary in intensity.
~8 min - 8
The asparagus should be tender-crisp at this point. If it needs a little more time, remove the fish and continue broiling the asparagus for a few more minutes.

Serve the miso-glazed black cod immediately with the yuzu kosho asparagus.
Tips
- For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the black cod for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. However, be careful not to marinate for too long, as the miso can start to 'cook' the fish.
- If you don't have black cod, other firm white fish like halibut or sea bass can be substituted, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
