Miso Glazed Black Cod
Talk about melt-in-your-mouth good! Nothing beats black cod when it’s freshly caught that very day. My old go-to spot in Cali for the best catch is Captain Kidd’s in Redondo Beach—and I lucked out on my last visit. They had just gotten in fresh black cod, caught only two hours before I arrived!
I marinated the fillets in a rich miso glaze that gives the fish the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavor. To finish, I topped it with a sprinkle of furikake and a handful of microgreens for a pop of color and texture.
This glaze is pure magic—it elevates any fish you pair it with, and it’s just as amazing on chicken or tofu. Give it a try and thank me later!

Keep the fish marinating in refrigerator for anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours. The longer you wait the more flavor the fish will have.
