Nobu's black miso cod is to.die.for., so here is my take on the famous Japanese dish, it is not hard to make. It's delicate and delicious.
ingredients
2 4-6 ounce cod fillets
1/8 cup mirin
1/8 cup shiro miso paste (organic EDEN shiro miso is the best)
1/8 cup of sugar ( MADHAVA Agave nectar is a girl's sugar substitute)
Scallions, cut diagonally as garnish
preparation
In a saucepan combine mirin, miso and sugar (agave nectar). Cook over medium heat until it simmers and sugar melts and dissolves. Set aside and cool. If you are on a time crunch,stir the mixture well. Marinate cod in the miso mixture for about 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place cod on a baking sheet or dish, brush the cod with the miso mixture. Bake, about 8 minutes or until the cod is flaky and browned. Remove and serve. A great side to this dish is bok choy or shitake mashed potatoes.
