Miso Black Cod in Spicy Brothy Rice

Cook time: 55 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 0.75 cup white miso
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 4 filets black cod filets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 clove garlic grated
  • 2 baby bok choy quartered
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 0 white rice
  • 0 green onion thinly sliced
  • 0 chili garlic oil
  • 0 sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. To make the miso marinade, combine 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 3 tbsp mirin, 3/4 cup white miso, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow marinade to simmer for several minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Remove the marinade from heat and let it cool slightly. Place 4 (6-7 oz) black cod filets in a baking dish and coat with the cooled miso mixture. Cover and let marinade for 12-24 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the fish from the baking dish, scrape off excess marinade, and pat dry with a paper towel. Bake on the middle rack for 7 minutes, then transfer to the top rack and broil on high for 5 minutes until the fish is charred and blackened.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced, and sauté until they are cooked down and browned in some areas, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated, and 2 cloves garlic, grated, to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes before removing the mixture from the pan and setting aside.
  6. Add 2 baby bok choy, quartered, to the pan and sear on all sides until softened through, about 5 minutes total.
  7. Add 2 cups of chicken bone broth, 2 tbsp tamari, and 1 tbsp sriracha to the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring to release anything stuck to the pan. Turn off the heat once simmering, and return mushrooms to the pan with your broth.
  8. To serve, add a scoop of cooked white rice to a bowl, then top with broth, and finish with bok choy and miso cod. Garnish with sliced green onions, chili garlic oil, and sesame seeds.
