A new twist on Nobu Miso Black Cod!

In addition to using the suggested Mirin, Sake, White Miso and sugar to create the marinade for the Black Cod, I experimented by adding about 1/4 cup of Greek Muscat Of Alexandria dessert wine to the mix. The end result was incredible, the dessert wine making the overall fish more aromatic and flavourful! Definitely worth an additional Michelin star!! Ha!!

    Did you cut back on the sugar? What amounts of each ingredient did you use? TIA

      For 2 pounds of fish, I used 1/2 cup Sake, 1/2 cup Mirin, 8 tablespoon 'white' miso, 6 tablespoon sugar plus the dessert wine. I did not cut down on the sugar. However, I found one needs to marinate for 3 rather than 2 days!
