With even more omega-3 fatty acids than any wild salmon, a 6-ounce portion of sablefish also has 90% of the daily recommended vitamin D.
Sablefish has been known as black cod and butterfish, and gindara when prepared for sushi. As it’s very rich, it is considered a delicacy, which can be grilled, fried, smoked, or baked.
Caught in Southeast Alaska and extra-buttery when cooked, Alaskan black cod has a silky, rich texture and ultra-high Omega-3 oil content. The flesh is fairly oily, and when cooked is pearly white with large flakes. Often used in Asian-inspired recipes, the best way to cook black cod is with a mixture of sweet and salty flavor. Due to the high concentration of oils, cooking the fish at 485° F for 8-12 minutes will provide the best results.
You simply can’t beat this Alaskan Black Cod price! If you’re planning to buy Black Cod online, we recommend pairing it with miso, or even following a miso-marinated Black Cod recipe. Miso marinade complements the richness of the fish with its mild sweetness, and is very tasty when paired with vegetables.
As there is no threat to the Alaskan Sablefish population, it’s considered a “Green Choice” by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program. Sablefish is considered a sustainable fish, because its mercury content is considered moderate. We source from seafood suppliers who have our same vision and encourage those who do not, to have a better vision and become more sustainable.
Sweet Miso Glazed Black Cod with a Ragout of Edamame and Baby Shiitake Mushrooms
Serves 2
Items You Will Need:
2 pieces 6-7oz Black Cod Fillets
¼ cup Dark Miso Paste
2 TBSP Brown Sugar
2 ounces Sake (Dry)
¼ tsp Sea Salt (Flaky Sea Salt or Kosher Salt)
1 cup Edamame Beans
½ cup Shiitake Mushroom (Sliced)
1 tsp Pickled Red Chiles (Sliced)
¼ tsp Sea Salt (Flaky Sea Salt or Kosher Salt)
1 TBSP Sesame Oil
A/R Olive Oil
A/R Scallions (Thinly Sliced)
Directions to Make:
Season the Black Cod Fillets with the Salt and place on a small sheet pan or cookie sheet.
Pre-heat the Oven to 400°F. (You may use the Broiler Feature; but place the oven rack lower in the oven)
Prepare the Sweet Miso Glaze by combining the Miso Paste with the Sake in a small sauce pot stirring over low heat.
Add the Brown Sugar, while continuing to stir until the mixture is combined.
Bring this mixture just to a mild simmer and remove from the heat.
Lightly brush the Black Cod Fillets with this Sweet Miso Glaze and place into the oven.
After 2-3 Minutes, baste the fish with the Sweet Miso Glaze and rotate the pan.
After another 2-3 minutes, repeat the basting and rotating the pan.
After 7-8 minutes total cooking time (depending on the thickness of the fillets) remove the fish from the oven and finish with a final basting of the Sweet Miso Glaze.
At this point the Black Cod will be caramelized and firm, but still be moist on the interior.
Allow the Black Cod to rest while finishing the remaining ingredients.
Steps To Plating
Prepare the Ragout by Sautéing the Shiitake Mushrooms in Sesame Oil and Season with the Salt.
Once the Shiitakes have color, add the Edamame and Red Chiles, tossing together gently.
Spoon the mixture on the bottom of the bowl.
Lay the Black Cod on top of the mixture.
Give the Black Cod a final baste of the Sweet Miso Glaze.
Finish the dish with a drizzle of Olive Oil and some thinly sliced Scallions on top of the fish.
