What you'll need

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
  2. Place the black cod fillets in a glass dish and coat evenly on all sides with the marinade.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, ideally 2-3 days — the long miso cure is what gives this dish its signature Nobu flavor and texture.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and brush the parchment lightly with the avocado oil.
  5. Gently wipe excess marinade off the fillets with your fingers (don't rinse) and place them on the baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 10-12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, then broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes to a deep golden brown, watching closely so it doesn't burn.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions.

FAQ

Why use organic miso paste?

Using organic miso ensures that the product is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals, making it a purer option.

Can I substitute ginger with another ingredient?

While ginger provides key flavor in this dish, you could substitute it with peeled and finely grated fresh turmeric for a different but still aromatic profile.
