Preparation

Marinating the Black Cod

Mix Miso Glaze

In a bowl, combine white miso paste, sake, mirin, and sugar, and mix until smooth.

Season Cod

Pat the black cod fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season with salt.

Marinate Fillets

Coat the fillets thoroughly with the miso glaze, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).

For best results, marinate the fish overnight to deeply infuse the flavors.

Preparing the Pickled Radish

Heat Pickling Liquid

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and water in a small saucepan, and heat until sugar dissolves.

Pickle Radishes

Pour the mixture over the sliced radishes and let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

Chill

Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin radish slices.

Cooking Process

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Sear Cod

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and sear the cod fillets for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.

Bake Cod

Transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
