Black Cod with Miso Butter & Yuzu

TIME: 15 min // SERVES: 2 // DIFFICULTY: Easy

Black Cod is delicate, but this recipe makes it so bold and delicious! Our Miso Butter, with a touch of Yuzu juice (from our friends at Yuzuco) adds a punch of citrus tang that transforms this fish into a restaurant-level dish — no marinade needed! Just pan, butter, and bliss.

WHAT DO I NEED?

2 cod fillets (about 6-8 oz each)
2 tbsp neutral oil (like avocado oil)
4-5 tbsp Miso Butter
4-5 tbsp Yuzu Juice
1/2 cup AP Flour (cornstarch or rice flour also work, for a gf alternative!)
Salt & pepper
fresh herbs (like Parsley or chives, for garnish)

Prep the Fish - Pat cod fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Then lightly dredge in flour on both sides.
Sear it up - Heat oil in a nonstick or stainless steel pan over medium-high. Place cod skin-side down (or presentation side down if skinless). Sear for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
Butter Baste - Flip fillets, add our Miso Butter and the Yuzu juice to the pan, and spoon melted butter over the fish repeatedly as it finishes cooking (about 2–3 more minutes).
Plate & Serve - plate with rice, greens, and/or noodles, and garnish with some fresh herbs! Don't forget to spoon some extra butter from pan over the top. Enjoy!!
