Miso Glazed Black Cod with Soba Noodles

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk together 1/4 cup white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a shallow dish to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Place 12 oz of black cod fillets into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; remove the marinated cod from the refrigerator and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake the black cod for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized and slightly browned.

5. 5

   While the fish bakes, cook 8 oz of soba noodles according to package directions in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat, then add 1 inch grated fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 1 minute until fragrant.

7. 7

   Add 8 oz of chopped bok choy to the pan and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then toss in the cooked soba noodles with the vegetables.

8. 8

   Serve the miso-glazed black cod immediately alongside the ginger-garlic soba and bok choy, garnished with 2 chopped green onions and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
