If you’ve ever had the famous miso-marinated black cod from NOBU, you know how deliciously tender and flavorful it is. The best part? You can recreate this iconic dish at home with just a few simple ingredients. This Miso Marinated Fish is easy enough for a weeknight dinner but impressive enough to serve at a dinner party!

Why I Love This Recipe

When I was living in NYC as a model, I loved splurging at NOBU, a renowned Japanese restaurant by world-famous chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The menu is packed with incredible dishes, but the miso marinated black cod is by far the standout! Fortunately, you don’t have to go to the restaurant to enjoy it—you can easily make this dish at home for a fraction of the cost!

  • Simple to Make: This miso marinated fish recipe only requires 4 ingredients. Just whisk the marinade, let the fish soak in the flavor, and broil until golden perfection.
  • Flavorful: The combination of miso, agave, and mirin gives the fish a rich, umami-packed glaze that is irresistible.
  • Versatile: While black cod is my go-to, you can swap it with other oily fish like salmon or even try this recipe with scallops. Black cod is high in omega-3 fatty acids and has a mild flavor which is perfect for kids.
  • Healthy: Loaded with omega-3s and light on prep time, this is a nutritious dish you’ll feel good about eating. The original recipe uses lots of sugar, which I didn’t think was the healthiest idea, so I substitute agave with fantastic results!

The Ingredients

Miso Marinated Fish Ingredients.
  • Yellow or white miso: This fermented paste is the star of the marinade, adding depth of flavor.
  • Agave: This adds a touch of sweetness to the marinade. You can substitute sugar for a slightly different sweetness.
  • Mirin: This is a sweet Japanese rice wine that balances out the salty miso.
  • Black Cod: Black cod is mild in flavor and high in omega-3 fatty acids. You can use any oily fish for the best results.

How to Make Miso Marinated Fish

Miso, agave and mirin combined in baking dish.

Step 1: Place the miso, agave and mirin in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 2: Pour over the fish, cover, refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes (can be marinated up to 3 days).

Step 3: Preheat oven broiler to high. Remove fish from marinade and place skin side down on a foil lined cookie sheet.

Step 4: Broil fish 6 inches from the heat source for 8-10 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Tips and Tricks

  • Marinate Longer for More Flavor: If you have the time, let the fish marinate for up to 3 days. The longer the fish soaks in the miso glaze, the deeper the flavor.
  • Use a Hot Broiler: You want the fish to cook quickly under the broiler, so make sure it’s fully preheated. This gives the fish a golden, slightly caramelized exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Swap Agave for Sugar: Don’t have agave? You can substitute it with 3 tablespoons of sugar without losing that perfect balance of sweet and savory.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair your miso-marinated fish with steamed or brown rice and Crispy Broccoli, or for a lighter option, a fresh cucumber salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of fish works best for miso marinated fish?

Black cod is the classic choice, but salmon works beautifully too. You could also try scallops. You want to stick to oily fish for the best texture and flavor.

Can I meal prep miso marinated fish?

Absolutely! The fish can marinate for up to 3 days, making it a great make-ahead option for busy weeknights or special dinners.

From small bites to full-side salmon feasts and grilled fillets, salmon is always perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Whether you’re a salmon newbie or a seasoned grilling pro looking for fresh inspiration, there’s a simple recipe here for you to try. Who needs a fancy restaurant when you can make the best salmon right in your own backyard?  

Why You’ll Love My Salmon Recipes

Salmon is seriously one of the most versatile proteins you can cook. It’s loaded with healthy fatty acids and, undoubtedly, always delivers a juicy, tender bite.

It’s also one of those types of fish that can taste amazing with simple ingredients. An easy go-to recipe for a quick dinner could be grilling with some olive oil (or unsalted butter), dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, fresh garlic and then a squeeze of lemon juice. Or, you can amp up the flavors in any number of ways, as you will soon see in my salmon recipes.

Salmon ends are some of my favorite healthy snacks.

My reliable recipes make it easy to whip up restaurant-quality meals at home without breaking the bank. Plus, salmon is a nutrient-packed, healthy meal option that’s good for your heart and brain. 

Tips for Cooking Salmon Recipes

  1. Internal Temperature: To ensure your salmon cooks perfectly, invest in an instant-read thermometer. Aim for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  2. Skin Side Down: Start cooking your salmon with the skin side down to get that crispy skin and then to protect the flesh from overcooking.
  3. Thickness Matters: Adjust your cooking times based on the thickness of your salmon fillet. Thicker pieces will need a bit more time.
  4. Room Temperature: Let your salmon come to room temperature before cooking for even results. 

Different Types of Salmon

Alright, let’s talk salmon! Not all salmon is created equal, and knowing the different types makes you feel a little smarter. Each type has its own unique flavor, texture and best uses. Plus, where your salmon comes from can make a big difference in quality.

Here’s a quick overview of the different types of salmon and where they’re sourced, so you can make the best choice for your next meal. You can usually find high-quality salmon at your local grocery store, or, you can order online through Wild Alaskan Company or Wild Alaska Salmon & Seafood

  1. Wild-Caught Salmon: Wild salmon is rich in flavor and has a firm texture. This is a great choice for those who prefer a robust taste. Some examples are King Salmon (Chinook), Sockeye and Coho Salmon, most often sourced from the Pacific Ocean, especially Alaska. 
  2. Farmed Salmon: This type of salmon is usually the most affordable. It’s generally milder and fattier, making it very tender and moist. Atlantic Salmon is the most common variety, farmed in Norway, Chile and Canada. 

Let’s dive in and discover all the ways we can make salmon taste so freakin’ delicious!

What to Serve with Salmon

When it comes to serving salmon, the options are endless. Pair it with brown rice for a hearty, fiber-packed side that complements the richness of the fish. For something lighter, go with fresh spinach or bok choy for a nutritious and refreshing balance.

Craving comfort food? Mashed potatoes are a go-to, with their creamy texture perfectly matching the salmon. Elevate your dish by drizzling it with fresh garlic butter, making each bite even more flavorful. Roasted veggies like asparagus, carrots, and bell peppers add a colorful and tasty side that rounds out the meal perfectly.

How to Store Leftover Salmon and Reheat

Storing and reheating salmon properly is key to enjoying it even after the initial meal. Place your leftover salmon in an airtight container to keep it fresh and refrigerate it for up to three days.

When it’s time to reheat, the goal is to retain the moisture and avoid drying out the fish. Reheat your salmon in the oven at a low temperature, around 275 degrees F, until it warms through. This gentle reheating method helps maintain the tender texture of the salmon.

If you have any extra sauce from the original recipe, adding it when reheating can help keep the salmon juicy and flavorful. Properly stored and reheated, your leftover salmon can be just as delightful as when it was first cooked.

FAQs for Salmon Recipes

How do I know when my salmon is done?

Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the fillet.

Can I freeze cooked salmon?

Yes, you can freeze cooked salmon. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper and place it in an airtight container. Or, use a good vacuum sealer. Freeze for up to 3 months.

What’s the best way to cook salmon for crispy skin?

Start by patting the skin dry with a paper towel. Cook the salmon skin side down in a hot pan with a little olive oil over medium-high heat until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

What’s a typical serving size for salmon? 

A typical serving of salmon is about 4 to 6 ounces, so if you’re feeding a big crowd, make sure to pick up a couple of pounds of salmon.
