In a mixing bowl, combine yuzu juice, soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk to combine and create the marinade.

Place the black cod fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the black cod fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
~5 min - 6
Transfer the seared cod fillets to the prepared baking tray.
~1 min - 7
Generously sprinkle the matcha crumble over the top of each cod fillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the crumble is toasted.

Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispy crumble, you can toast the panko and matcha mixture in a dry pan for a few minutes before applying it to the fish.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a side of blanched asparagus or edamame.
