Ingredients

•2 Black Cod (Sablefish) fillets, 6 oz each

•3 tbsp Shiro (white) miso paste

•2 tbsp high-quality unsalted butter, softened

•1 tbsp Hon-mirin

•1 tbsp Junmai sake

•1 cup Ichiban dashi (first-press kelp and bonito stock)

•1 tbsp fresh yuzu juice (or Meyer lemon juice)

•2 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise

•1 tsp fresh ginger, micro-planed

•1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

01
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso, softened butter, mirin, sake, and ginger until a smooth paste forms.
02
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Coat the fish thoroughly with the miso-butter mixture and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
03
In a small saucepan, bring the dashi stock to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the yuzu juice. Keep warm but do not boil to preserve the citrus aromatics.
04
Heat a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a drop of neutral oil. Sear the bok choy cut-side down until charred and tender-crisp (about 2 minutes). Remove and set aside.
05
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Wipe away excess carbon. Place the cod fillets in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, allowing the miso sugars to caramelize into a deep golden crust. The fish should be opaque and flake easily.
06
To serve, pour a shallow pool of yuzu dashi into two warmed bowls. Place a cod fillet in the center and arrange charred bok choy alongside. Drizzle with a few drops of toasted sesame oil.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
