This miso marinated black cod is an elegant Japanese-inspired dish that combines rich, buttery fish with the deep umami flavour of white miso. Cooked close to the grill, the pre-marinated black cod develops a beautifully caramelised surface with lightly charred edges, while the flesh remains tender, moist and delicately flaky.

The richness of the fish is balanced by quick-pickled mooli, which adds a crisp, fresh and tangy contrast to the sweet-savoury miso glaze. Served over fragrant steamed rice and delicate shiso leaves, this easy black cod recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavour with very little preparation.

Whether you know it as miso black cod, miso glazed black cod or Nobu-style black cod, this is a wonderfully simple way to enjoy one of the most luxurious fish dishes at home. Ready in around 15 minutes, it makes an impressive Japanese-inspired dinner or an elegant seafood main course for entertaining.
