Miso-Glazed Black Cod with Pickled Vegetables

The Story

This dish bridges my Chinese heritage with Japanese technique. The key is the 48-hour marinade that allows the miso to penetrate the fish completely, creating layers of umami.

Ingredients

Instructions

Chef's Notes

Chilean sea bass works as a substitute for black cod.
Start the marinade two days before serving for best results.
