black cod

🥗Healthier: sablefish

💰Cheaper: cod

Sablefish retains a similar texture and flavor profile.

miso paste

🥗Healthier: white miso

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

White miso is lighter and lower in sodium.

Make the marinade using white miso, sake, mirin, and light soy sauce.

Add a generous amount of unsalted butter to the marinade.

Taste and adjust seasoning, keeping in mind the cod has not been seasoned.

Place regular cod on a baking tray and pour the marinade over it, coating the fish.

Preheat oven to 200° C.

Bake the cod for a total of no more than 8 minutes, basting a couple of times during cooking.

After 3 minutes, check the cod and baste again, ensuring the thickest part reaches about 55° C.

Return to the oven for another 3 minutes, checking for doneness.

After another minute or two, check the cod again; it should be perfectly flaky.
