Preparation

Get these tasks done before you start cooking.

Marinating the Black Cod

1
Mix Miso Glaze
In a bowl, combine white miso paste, sake, mirin, and sugar, and mix until smooth.
2
Season Cod
Pat the black cod fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season with salt.
3
Marinate Fillets
Coat the fillets thoroughly with the miso glaze, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
Tip: For best results, marinate the fish overnight to deeply infuse the flavors.

Preparing the Pickled Radish

1
Heat Pickling Liquid
Combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and water in a small saucepan, and heat until sugar dissolves.
2
Pickle Radishes
Pour the mixture over the sliced radishes and let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.
3
Chill
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tip: Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin radish slices.
