Miso-Marinated Black Cod: An Overnight Sablefish Recipe
Miso-marinated sablefish for home cooking
White miso, sake, mirin and sugar make a sweet-savory coating for sablefish. This is a home adaptation, not a claim to reproduce a restaurant’s exact recipe. Start with sablefish fillets; smoked sablefish needs a different preparation.
Ingredients for four servings
- Four sablefish portions, about 6 oz each
- ¼ cup white miso
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp sugar
- A little neutral oil for the baking dish
Prepare and marinate
- Warm the miso, mirin, sake and sugar gently in a small saucepan, stirring until smooth. Cool the mixture before adding it to fish. Brief heating does not make an alcohol-free marinade.
- Pat the fish dry and place it in a covered, nonreactive container. Coat with the cooled marinade and refrigerate overnight, about 8–12 hours.
- Count that time within the fish’s existing refrigerated storage window. Marinating does not extend shelf life; follow any shorter limit on the package. If the fish needs cooking today, choose the short-marinated option in our quick sablefish recipes.
Bake and finish the glaze
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Remove excess marinade from each portion, leaving a thin coating. Discard the used marinade.
- Place the fish in a lightly oiled baking dish, skin-side down if present. Begin checking after about 10 minutes and continue until the thickest part reaches 145°F.
- If you want a more browned surface, finish briefly under the broiler in a broiler-safe dish. Watch continuously and remove the fish if the coating starts scorching. Broiling is optional.
- Serve with rice, greens and pickled vegetables. Use clean utensils for the cooked fish.
Why wipe away the excess?
The sweet coating can brown before the fish is cooked. A thin layer is easier to manage than a thick blanket of marinade. Portion thickness and broiler strength affect the finish; neither a dark glaze nor a fixed cooking time proves that the center is ready.
For a recipe without sake or mirin, try baked sablefish with soy, lemon and ginger. For other preparations, explore ginger-steamed sablefish, spicy stew and red curry.

Follow FDA seafood handling guidance: keep fish refrigerated, prevent contact between raw fish and ready-to-eat food, and cook the thickest part to 145°F. Times are estimates; use a thermometer.
