Nobus Den Miso Marinated Fish Recipes

JAPANESE MISO SALMON SIDE (BBQ OR BAKE)

Steps:

• Mix together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
• Place the salmon skin side up on a work surface and slather with just under half the marinade.
• Turn the salmon so it is skin side down onto a large piece of cling wrap. Slather the remaining marinade on the flesh side.
• Wrap the salmon in cling wrap. Marinade for 24 to 48 hours.
• Scrape the marinade off (do not rinse with water) and leave the salmon to come to room temperature
• Preheat barbecue plate side on MEDIUM LOW. Leave it to heat up for a good 10 to 15 minutes - another tip for cooking salmon perfectly.
• Add oil just before cooking. Place the salmon on the BBQ skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes, then use two spatulas to turn it. Cook the flesh side for 2 - 3 minutes or until caramelised, then flip it again so the skin side is down then transfer to a tray.
• Cover loosely with foil to rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will continue cooking while resting.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and finely sliced shallots.

MISO MARINATED BLACK COD RECIPE BY CHEF NOBU MATSUHISA

Steps:

• Boil sake and mirin over high heat and reduce by 1⁄3.
• Turn heat down, add miso and sugar, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
• Cool to room temperature.
• Marinate cod fillets in the miso mixture for 4 days.
• Gently wipe off excess marinade from the fillets and grill or broil until well browned.

MISO-MARINATED BLACK COD

Steps:

• 1. Marinate: Combine the mirin and sake in a small saucepan. Bring just to a boil and take off the heat. Add the miso and the sugar to the pan. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Let cool to room temperature. Layer the fillets in a bowl and slather with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
• 2. Saute: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. Wipe the marinade from the fillets and place them in the pan skin side up. Cook for 4 minutes. The flesh will start to brown and blacken in spots because of the sugar in the marinade, but this is ok, you're after those caramelized flavors. Flip the fillets skin side down and slide the pan into the oven.
• 3. Roast: Cook in the oven for about 6-8 minutes, until the flesh begins to flake apart when you press down on it with your finger.
• 4. Serve: Transfer the filets to a platter or individual plates and serve while still warm. We like to serve with a side of rice and steamed bok choy
