Miso Cod with Dashi Beurre Blanc

Passaggi6

1. 1

   Passaggio 1. Salt the cod

   45 min

   Season the cod with 3 g salt (1% of its weight). Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for about 45 minutes. This firms up the flesh and gives you a better shape before cutting.

   Boil the sake and mirin for 1 to 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Let them cool down completely.

   Passaggio 5. Sear the cod

   Wipe away the excess marinade from the cod. Slowly sear the fish in 30 g butter. Use enough heat to caramelize the miso, but not so much that the butter burns.

   Take your time—the goal is a deep caramel crust without burning the butter.
