Miso Marinated Fish
Description
This recipe uses yellow or white miso combined with agave syrup (or sugar) and mirin to create a glaze that the fish soaks in. The oily fish such as black cod is coated and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes, though it can marinate up to three days to intensify flavors. Broiling under high heat caramelizes the surface, producing a slightly crispy, bubbly glaze while retaining moistness inside.
The result is a fish with a layered taste of salty, sweet, and tangy notes, enhanced by the marinade’s fermented character. The quick broil method quickly cooks the fish, preventing drying and maintaining a tender, flaky texture. The golden glaze adds visual appeal and complex flavor.
Serve this fish as a main dish paired with simple sides or steamed rice that complements the robust marinade.
Ensure the broiler is fully preheated for ideal caramelization. Removing excess marinade before broiling prevents burning and promotes even cooking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow miso or white miso
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup or 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1 1/2 pounds (4 filets) black cod you need to use an oily fish, or salmon
Instructions
- Place the miso, agave and mirin in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour over the fish, cover, refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes (can be marinated up to 3 days).
- Preheat oven broiler to high.
- Remove fish from marinade and place skin side down on a foil lined cookie sheet.
- Broil fish 6 inches from the heat source for 8-10 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Marinate the fish up to three days for more intense flavor.
- Ensure the broiler is fully preheated to quickly cook and caramelize the fish surface.
- Broil the fish skin side down about 6 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and bubbling.
