Date Night

Looking for a perfect date night dish for you and your loved one? Try Nobu's Black Cod with Miso. It's sweet and silky and screams total date night dish.  Like a blow out or manicure, don't forget to plan ahead as it's recommended to marinate the fish for at least 24 hours*. Serve it with sticky rice and bok choy and enjoy!

*if you're in Chicago, go to Dirk's because they already have it marinating.

Black Cod with Miso:

Ingredients:

3 tbsp mirin

3 tbsp sake

1/2 cup white miso paste

1/3 cup sugar

six 6-7 oz skinless black cod fillets, about 1 1/2" thick

vegetable oil, for grilling

pickled ginger, for serving

Directions:

1) In a small saucepan, bring the mirin and sake to a boil. Whisk in the miso until dissolved. Add the sugar and cook over moderate heat, whisking, just until dissolved. Transfer the marinade to a large baking dish and let cool. Add the fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2) Preheat the oven to 400°. Heat a grill pan and oil it. Scrape the marinade off the fish. Add the fish and cook over high heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the fish onto a heavy rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until flaky. Transfer to plates and serve with pickled ginger.

MAKE AHEAD The marinade can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
