Tips

  • Use white miso or Saikyo miso for extra authenticity in the marinade.
  • Sablefish (black cod) is prized for its buttery texture and high fat content, which helps lock in miso flavours.
  • An optional starch-cleaning method can remove any sliminess from frozen fish before marinating.
  • Grill at high heat to achieve a caramelised crust with a tender, flaky centre.
