nobu’s miso black cod is one of the most iconic
fish dishes in the entire world and it’s become a symbol of nobu’s restaurant Empire and
high-end Japanese Fusion Cuisine it’s one of the most imitated dishes globally and
its rich flavor and buttery texture is undefeated now noou charges about $50 for
a small piece of their famous miso black cod so today we’ll recreate it at home and
it’ll be just as good and the best part is that we’ll have a much bigger portion of it
for a fraction of the price this recipe is incredibly easy to make and it’ll be one of
your new go-to recipes for everyday meals or for entertaining so do me a favor and make
sure you like comment share and save this video all right sh remember to wash your hands now the first thing we’ll do
is make our marinade so to a small sauce pot on medium heat We’ll add in 1/4
cup of your favorite sake and I’m using blue Phoenix’s Vietnamese American rice wine
and its subtle fruit notes of pineapple and Yuzu adds a really nice brightness to the
marinade to that we’ll add in 2 tbspoon of mirin and we’ll Heat this up for
just a minute or two to cook out the alcohol then we’ll lower the heat
slightly and we’ll whisk in a/ thir cup of white miso paste and 1/4 cup of sugar and if you like this recipe and you want to
learn how to make more of your favorite Asian dishes make sure you subscribe and turn on your
notifications to stay up toate on all my latest posts we’ll give that a good mix making sure that
the miso paste and sugar is fully dissolved then we’ll remove the pot from the Heat and we’ll
let this marinade cool down to room temperature now next up is prepping our black cod I picked
up some fillets from Costco and it’s only $10 a pound there and it comes filleted and
deboned so that gets rid of a ton of prep work for us so all we have to do is cut them
into some more manageable siiz pieces roughly 3in sections now black cod is also known as
sablefish and it’s actually not part of the true Cod family but it gets its name due
to its rich and oily flush and similarity in texture to Cod and black cod is such a
luxurious tasting fish because of its high oil content making each bite flaky and buttery
and if you can’t find black cod Chilean SE bass is a great substitution but this marinade will
also work on just about any kind of fish you like now once our black cod is all cut up
it’s time to put it together so to an airtight container I’m going to add in a little bit of
the marinade to the bottom first We’ll add in our black cod and pour in our cooled marinade I’m
going to toss the black cod in the marinade gently and then we’ll cover it with some plastic
wrap making sure to press down on the Flesh of the black cod now the hardest part of this recipe
is the waiting process this black cod will need a vibeout in your fridge for a minimum of 2 days
but three is even better if you have the time and the extended marinating process will allow
the black cod to really soak up all the marinade and will also help firm up its texture slightly
now during recipe testing I tasted the fish after 30 minute marination as well as just an overnight
marinade and while that can work out in a pinch if you’re short on time it didn’t quite have
the same impact on flavor and texture so my recommendation is to really plan ahead on
this one to get the full experience now the black cod is going to Vibe out in the fridge
and I’ll see you in a couple of days welcome back after a couple of days and before we
cook our black cod I’m going to shred some green onions to use as a garnish first we’ll
cut our green onions into thirds and then using my handy dandy green onion Shredder I’m just going
to run the blade across the green onion and then flipping it to make sure that the onions are fully
[Music] separated then we’ll get our green onion submerged in some cooled water for about 5 minutes
to get them to curl up with that done it’s finally time to cook now we have a couple of options on
cooking it traditionally this would go in the oven near the top rock about 8 in away from the
heating element and broiled for 8 to 12 minutes or until the black Cottage is golden brown and
slightly charred but if you’re like me and you use your oven as a storage space for pots and pans
I’m going to be a little bit lazy and use my air fryer instead now make sure you spray some oil
down on the foil before you add your fish to make sure that it doesn’t stick and my air fryer does
have a broil function as well so that is important to note but if your air fryer doesn’t you can
still just use the Standard air fryer cooking option as well I’m cooking the black hot at 425
for 8 to 10 minutes and when it’s done just look look at how beautiful that looks perfectly golden
brown with some charring now we’re going to Plate this up super simple today and we’ll just get a
couple of our black cod pieces onto a plate and we’ll garnish it with our green onion curls
and just like that you’ve recreated noo miso black cod at home for pennies on the dollar
as always the recipe and measurements are on my blog at feed theep punch.com and if you’ve
made it this far let me know in the comments section if you use your oven as a storage space
or not thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy

Sweet looking forward to trying this on my next Costco run
This dish isn't new at all; its been a Hawaiian dish forever! He just charging an arm and a leg for it lol
Love your content and for keeping simple. I'm definitely going to make this and add it to our family recipe binder. Yes, we used to store all of our pots & pans in the oven. For our oven, we shifted and moved everything out of it during the pandemic because we were cooking more at home. We certainly cook more and not going back to that habit.
Have you ever tried this recipe with red (aka) miso?
ty for the recipe. does this work with frozen cod too? I get the frozen packs from costco.
Wawawawait… you found this at Costco? And I've been going to Whole Foods all this time?!?! AW MAN flips tables
Any recommendations for a good side dish for this?
I do use my oven as storage space lol.
My favorite dish at Nobu! Thank you so much for sharing how to make it. For a vegetarian substitution, what would you recommend? I was thinking king oyster mushrooms? 🍄🟫
I can't have alcohol, what can we substitute for wine?
Love your recipe. Definitely will try out with sable fish. Thanks🙏🇨🇦
Do you eat the skin?
Omg I love this! Reminds me of the expensive dinner I had and how this fish just melts away when you eat it! I’m going to do this for Valentine’s Day with some bok choy and potatoes
I remember I try making this dish for the first time and expectation were high, I’m sorry to say it was a disappointment. The flavor of the fish with the saltiness of the miso I feel like doesn’t go well together. Black cod is a firm meaty fish a slight subtle ammonia fishy aroma that fresh water drum tends or scallop seem to have, i would rather go with a more citrusy or sour contrast of flavor instead miso, it’s not a bad fish but I would not make this recipe again.
My sister has been to Nobu a few times swears buy this particular dish but I don't see myself paying up to 500 bucks to have a fully satisfying meal like she has. So I'll definitely be making this copycat recipe, thanks again.
NOBU ACTUALLY DOES MISO MARINADE. WIPES 90% OFF THEN USE A YAKI-MISO GLAZE FOR COOKING…
You are great. Thank you for the recipe
This looks so good, love miso black cod, if I could buy sablefish like that I'd cook this all the time 🙂
Oishi😋😋😋thank you so much!!!
Would a vacuum seal bag work for marinating the fish?
Actual black cod (sablefish) is pretty expensive tho if it’s not readily available (like it goes around 20dollars per pound around here😭). Obviously still way cheaper than restaurant but yeah
This exact recipe I saw on Paleoish 2 years ago
I was just at NOBU the resort in Cabo San Lucas & ate at NOBU restaurant. The Miso black cod has been on my culinary bucket list for years! I’ve made it at home before, but had always wanted to actually have it at the restaurant 😊 (it was $47 just for the piece of fish)
$10/lb black cod?! I wish. When I check Costco online, I see $27-$29, depending on packaging 😕
What is the point of the plastic wrap?
Would this work with Stevia or a sugar substitute?
Looks Delicious
Thank you for this recipe. It's in the oven right now! I even made the green onion curls! I can't wait, it smells so good. My husband often tells me he had it at an upscale restaurant on a work trip, so I'm surprising him! Yes, I use my oven as a storage space for roasting and baking pans. It's a hassle around the holidays because then I move the pans to the top of my washing machine. I keep thinking I have to get rid of some things in my cabinets so I have better storage space.
Was making this dish long before nobu made it a tiktok trend
This is the recipe that I've been looking for! And in an air fryer, so super easy… I do have a suggestion… I know it's a bit more work, but it would be really helpful to have the recipe (or at least a list of the ingredients) in the description box. Thank you, I've liked and subscribed!
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I'm making the marinade today. Can the marinade be frozen?
I use my oven almost daily. In what world do you live in where you don't need to cook in a oven?
I’m gonna try it thank you !!! My son loves black cod.
I do use my oven to store baking trays 🤣
Yum! Buying my cod today for my Mother’s Day dinner! Going to serve it with some black rice too. I have the same airfryer and absolutely love it!
Can red miso be used as substitute for white miso?
Thanks so much for this recipe. This gives us another option than just steaming it. We love the taste and texture of black cod. We would look for it every time we go to Costco.
By the way, we use our oven to store our wok and frying pans.
Delicious recipe–thank you SO much. I wanted MORE 😋
I have got to try this recipe, looked so yum yum. Love the onion shredder, will get myself one. I'm so happy to run into your channel. Thx so much Ken. I liked n subscribed.
