Spa Index Kitchen Notes

One of the most legendary entrees served at NOBU restaurants is the Miso Black Cod made popular by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa.  

Black Cod is also called sablefish, butterfish or Alaska cod. This is a cold water fish most at home in the waters of the Pacific Ocean along California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and British Columbia.

This fish a rich flavour and velvety texture thanks to it's relatively high fat content.  You'll find it's not as difficult to create this dish at home, as you may think, and it's such a satisfying and beautiful entree.

The video embedded is an alternate version of this recipe with Tamari and ginger, and prepared with Enoki Mushrooms, in a skillet.
