miso black cod

lately, my mom’s been dealing with some health challenges, and one of the key dietary recommendations is cutting out red meat and focusing more on omega-3 rich foods.

my parents have always been big seafood fans, so i thought introducing them to sablefish from alaska would be a win. this fish is incredibly rich and buttery, and it’s packed with omega-3s, which are known for helping our bodies fight off colds and flu—definitely something we could all use!

for those who aren’t familiar, sablefish is sometimes called black cod. it’s a personal favorite of mine and something my partner and i cook up often. my parents are now also both huge fans of this flavorful fish, and i’m pretty sure we’ll be adding a lot more sablefish to our meals moving forward!

if you’ve had miso black cod at a restaurant before (or the costco one), it’s worth noting that the recipe below is more mild — a little less salty and way less sweet. parent-approved 🙂

I used (serves 4):

To make:

  • Mix together mirin, sake, and miso until smooth
  • Add sablefish to a tupperware and cover with the miso mixture, ensuring that all surfaces of the fish are covered with miso 
  • Marinate for 24 hours in the fridge
  • Remove fish from container, wiping off excess miso with your fingers, then place fish pieces on parchment paper
  • Broil on high for 10-12 minutes until fish is flaky and the tops are golden brown
  • Serve with rice and greens and enjoy!
