Last week, I mentioned that we paired a bottle of Sophie James sparkling wine (*winner of wine subscription giveaway announced below!) with a miso-glazed cod dish we informally call “candy fish” in our home. I received multiple requests for the recipe! After begging Landon, he agreed to share. Below, find Landon’s version of a famous cod dish served at Nobu. He has developed this recipe over many years, referencing recipes from America’s Test Kitchen, a James Beard cookbook, Food and Wine, and one of our favorite fish cookbooks, Fish Forever. Note that you must marinate this dish for 24-48 hours. We often serve with good rice topped with seaweed salt and edamame or bok choy, but this most recent time, Mr. Magpie paired it with a sesame soba noodle salad. The sugar in the marinade, when broiled, caramelizes into the most gorgeous crust. It is outrageously delicious!
Ingredients
4 – 5oz skin on black cod fillets
¾ cup white miso
6 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp mirin
6 tbsp sake
2 tbsp soy
Process
Mix mirin, sake, and soy in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil to boil off the alcohol.
Off heat, add sugar to the sauce pan and whisk to dissolve the sugar.
Whisk in miso until the marinade is smooth.
Let fish marinate for 24 – 48 hours.
Place rack 8” – 12” from broiler. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, cover the rack with aluminum foil, and spray foil with a light coating of cooking oil.
Wipe off excess marinade from fish and place on a prepared baking sheet.
When ready to cook, turn on broiler to oven.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F – about 8 minutes. Turn the pan half way through. Watch closely as the sugar in the marinade can burn easily. If the fish threatens to burn, return the temperature to 425 degrees.

+Nordies has some really good promos right now — this set of OSEA favorites (haven’t tried the lotion but can vouch for the oil — it’s lightweight and deeply hydrating), these Kyte footies (have gifted many times…ultra-soft and stretchy!), and this tangle teezer, which I sadly just paid full price for elsewhere.
+Sneaky way to get Varley on sale: Neiman’s is offering $50 off orders over $200 — you could pair this amazing fleece with their chic lounge pants and get $50 off the bundle. I go down one size in everything Varley except those pants (take my true size in those).
