Aburi-style cooking, derived from Japanese culinary traditions, involves searing seafood over an open flame, creating a beautifully caramelized exterior and a delicate, tender interior. When applied to sablefish—also known as black cod—this technique transforms the fish into a luxurious dish that balances texture and flavor.
Sablefish is renowned for its high oil content, rich flavor, and velvety texture. Its natural fattiness makes it ideal for high-heat searing, locking in moisture while achieving a crisp outer layer.
The word “Aburi” means “flame-seared” in Japanese, and this method has become a hallmark of modern sushi and Japanese cooking. Chef Masaharu Morimoto, a globally acclaimed chef, once said, “Japanese cuisine is about harmony and respect for the ingredient.” This philosophy is embodied in the Aburi-style preparation of sablefish, where simplicity meets sophistication.
For the best flavor and environmental impact, choose sustainably sourced sablefish, such as the premium fillets available at Global Seafoods.
Pro Tip: Explore premium sablefish fillets for the richest flavor.
The soy sauce-based marinade enhances the natural richness of sablefish. Don’t skip this step, as it lays the foundation for flavor.
If using a blowtorch, keep the flame moving to avoid burning the surface. The goal is a light, even char.
Sablefish is delicate. Overcooking can dry out its buttery texture, so monitor closely while baking.
