Nobu's Miso Cod

This miso cod is one of the most ordered dishes at Nobu, which is a globally renowned Japanese restaurant that serves upscaled seafood. Though it's fame might have you expecting a complicated dish, it's actually incredibly simple to make. Normally at Nobu, the cod is marinated over 48 to 72 hours, but you can still get delicious results if you simply marinate overnight.

    • 3 tbsp mirin (45 g)
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (15 g)
    • 3 tbsp water (45 g)
    • 1/3 cup sugar (67 g)
    • 3/4 cup miso (200 g)
      (red or white miso)
  • Place the cod in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the fish is fully coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight or for up to 72 hours.
    • After marinating, remove the fillets from the fridge and drain off any excess marinade. Place the fillets on a baking tray, then set the oven to grill at 300°F (149C). Cook for 8 minutes.
      • Finally, broil the cod for 3-5 minutes, or until a nice crust has formed on the surface.
        • Garnish the fillets with your desired toppings and serve. Enjoy!
