Miso Marinated Black Cod

Directions Print

Black Cod

1. Clean the cod filets from any pin bones.
2. Whisk together miso, sugar, mirin, soy, sesame oil, and sake.
3. Place the fish fillets in a container and coat with the miso marinade. Wrap and allow to marinate for 8 to 24 hours.

Shiitake Polenta

1. Clean the shiitake mushrooms and cut them into large pieces.
2. Melt 2 ounces of butter in a pan and cook the mushrooms over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are fragrant.
3. Purée the mushrooms and fold into the grits.

Braised Leeks

1. Remove the stem roots, leaving the hard root intact to hold the leek together.
2. Cut the green parts, leaving only the white and light green part of the leeks.
3. Slice the leeks in half and thoroughly rinse under running water to remove any dirt hiding between the layers.
4. Simmer butter, chicken base, and one cup of water.
5. Place the leeks in a shallow pan and pour the chicken stock over the leeks so they are almost covered. Bake in a 350°F oven until tender.
6. Refrigerate in the liquid and wrap until ready to use.
