Cod With Miso Butternut Squash Sauce Food

MISO GLAZED COD

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Rinse fish fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Combine miso, brown sugar, sesame oil and mirin and stir well until brown sugar is fully dissolved.
• Brush about 2 tablespoons miso glaze on each fish fillet. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. Place fish under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until top is slightly charred and glaze has caramelized. Remove fish from oven and brush with remaining glaze. Lower oven to 375 degrees F. Cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes, until fish is flaky but not overcooked.
• If desired, serve with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.

MISO-GLAZED BLACK COD

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the aluminum foil.
• Whisk miso paste, water, mirin, sake, and brown sugar together in a small skillet over medium heat until mixture simmers and thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Place cod fillets on prepared baking sheet. Brush fillets all over with miso mixture. Rest fillets at room temperature to quickly marinate, 15 to 20.
• Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue broiling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove pin bones.

BAKED COD WITH CRUNCHY MISO-BUTTER BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand (covered) for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• In a small bowl, using a spoon, mash together butter, ginger, garlic, 3 teaspoons of the miso and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix well, then fold in bread crumbs.
• Arrange cod on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, spread 1 teaspoon of miso over each fillet. Divide the miso-butter-bread crumb mixture equally and sprinkle in an even layer on top of each fillet, pressing gently but do not pack. Roast until top is golden and fish is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, about 12 to 14 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add broccoli, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until crisp-tender and charred, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Serve cod with charred broccoli and brown rice.

COD WITH MISO-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook shallot, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add squash, salt, maple syrup (if using), and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pot. Cook until squash is very tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Carefully purée squash and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully use a standard blender and work in 2 batches, keeping a towel over the lid and transferring to a medium bowl as you go.) Do ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
• Bring squash purée to a simmer over medium heat (return to same pot if you puréed in a standard blender). Season cod lightly with salt. Reduce heat to low and place cod in sauce (it should be completely covered). Cover pot and cook cod, turning over halfway through, until fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, 15-17 minutes. Remove pot from heat and gently stir lemon juice into sauce.
• Divide rice among bowls and ladle cod and sauce over. Top with cilantro and serve with chili crisp and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

BLACK COD WITH MISO

Steps:

• Pat the fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slather the fish with Nobu-style miso and place in a non-reactive dish or bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Leave to steep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat a grill or broiler. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets but don't rinse it off. Place the fish on the grill, or in a broiler pan, and grill or broil until the surface of the fish turns brown. Then bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Arrange the black cod fillets on individual plates and garnish with hajikami. Add a few extra drops of Nobu-style Miso to each plate.
• In a medium saucepan combine the sake and mirin and carefully flambe. When the flames die out, add the water and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the miso and, using an immersion blender, dissolve the miso into the liquid. Transfer the mixture to a double boiler and cook until caramel in color and all of the lumps are gone, abut 45 minutes. Cool.
• Turn the heat down to low and add the miso paste, mixing with a wooden spoon. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add 1 tablespoon of sugar, stirring constantly with the wooden spoon to ensure that the bottom of the pan doesn't burn. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

COD WITH MISO GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat Broiler.
• Blend miso, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and cayenne pepper in food processor.
• With machine running, gradually pour in oil and blend until smooth.
• Place cod in a large bowl and pour half of miso mixture over fish, toss to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil cod about 8 inches from heat until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes, reduce heat to 450 degrees and finish baking, about 5 minutes more.
• When fish is opaque, remove from oven and serve drizzled with remaining half of miso mixture.

BROILED COD WITH SESAME-MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat broiler; rack should be 4 inches or less from heat source.
• Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan until they color slightly.
• Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle.
• Whisk together sesame seeds, miso, sugar and soy sauce.
• Thin with a little water, mirin or more soy sauce if too thick.
• Adjust seasoning.
• This sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with red pepper.
• Place fish on a baking sheet; place under broiler and cook, rotating sheet once so fish browns evenly on top and is cooked through, 6-10 minutes.
• Drizzle sesame-miso sauce on top; serve hot.

MISO-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook shallot, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add squash, salt, maple syrup (if using), and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pot. Cook until squash is very tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Carefully purée squash and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully use a standard blender and work in 2 batches, keeping a towel over the lid and transferring to a medium bowl as you go.) Do ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
• Bring squash purée to a simmer over medium heat (return to same pot if you puréed in a standard blender). Stir in lemon juice; taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Divide soup among bowls and top with cilantro, chili crisp, and peanuts. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

BLACK COD WITH MISO

Steps:

• In a saucepan, whisk together miso, sugar, mirin, and sake. Cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Add fish, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 days.
• Preheat broiler to high. Remove fish from marinade, and place on a baking sheet, skin-side down. Broil until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Using a flat spatula, gently turn fish, and broil until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

BROILED COD WITH SESAME-MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place oven rack 4 inches or less from heat source. Heat broiler. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, shaking pan until they color slightly. Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder or use a mortar and pestle.
• Use a whisk to combine seeds with the miso, sugar and soy sauce. If the mixture is more like a paste than a sauce, thin it with a little water, mirin, or more soy sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning. (Sauce may be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.)
• Brush fish with oil, then sprinkle on a bit of cayenne. Place fish on a baking sheet, preferably nonstick, and put in broiler. Cook, rotating sheet once so fish browns evenly on top and is cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. The fish is done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part meets a little resistance. Drizzle sesame-miso sauce on top, and serve.

GARLIC-GINGER-MISO BLACK COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 the ginger, 1/2 the garlic, coconut aminos, vinegar, avocado oil, miso, and sesame oil in a blender and process until sauce is smooth.
• Place cod in a baking dish and pour sauce on top. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• Smash remaining garlic and place on top of fish in the baking dish. Add the remaining sliced ginger and dab ghee on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil to desired caramelization and doneness, 3 to 5 minutes more.
