Ingredients

Miso Glazed Black Cod:

1/3 cup sake

1/3 mirin rice wine vinegar

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/3 cup yellow miso

4 (6-ounce) black cod fillets

Miso Crab Broth:

4 tablespoons red miso paste (recommended: Kyoto)

4 cups boiling water

1 thumb-sized knob ginger, sliced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage and shell

3 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 cup enoki mushrooms

1 scallion, thinly sliced

Smelt egg, for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the sake, mirin, brown sugar, soy sauce and yellow miso. Add black cod, turning to coat well. Refrigerate and let marinate at least 2 hours, but no more than 6 hours.
  2. Preheat a broiler to medium.
  3. When ready to serve, broil the cod, 6 inches from the heat, until fish is opaque and lightly caramelized on top, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. In a medium saucepot over medium heat, add the miso paste and slowly stir in the boiling water. Add the ginger, garlic and vinegar and bring to a boil. Strain broth from solids and return the broth to the heat. Add the crab, mushrooms and the scallions. Cook until the crab is heated through and mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Serve with the broiled cod topped with smelt egg, if using.

Was looking for a better glaze for my cod than another listed on this site that got a lot of bad reviews for being too sweet. This was right on, I did add some garlic & ginger to the glaze/marinade, elevated the flavor so much more! Did not do the 2nd part (broth of the recipe though, just wanted a nice miso glaze for my cod, yum!
