Ingredients
-
4 black cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
-
1/4 cup sake
-
1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
-
4 tablespoons white miso paste
-
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions
-
Prepare the Fish: Pat the black cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Sear the Fish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
-
Cook the Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
-
Add Wine and Lemon Juice: Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
-
Combine and Serve: Return the black cod fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
