Baked Black Cod Recipe

Awesome Cod

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of light soy sauce
1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons of pourable light brown sugar
1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoon of fish sauce
2 whole black sea bass or 1 large black cod, gutted and descaled
Salt, pepper and chili pepper flakes
2 limes, sliced
2 inches of ginger, sliced
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
3-4 baby leeks, ramps, spring onions or scallions, sliced on the bias

To Garnish:

Scallions sliced thinly on the bias
Toasted white sesame seeds and black sesame seed
Lime wedges
Sliced radishes
Pickled daikon or quick pickled cucumbers, optional
Kimchi, optional

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauces, brown sugar, sesame oil and fish sauce.

Rest the fish in a large shallow bowl and score each side with 4-5 slashes. Season all over with salt, pepper and chili pepper flakes. Fill the cavity of the fish with the prepared limes, ginger, garlic, baby leeks, ramps, spring onions or scallions.

Pour all of the sauce except for 3-4 tablespoons over the fish and work into the slashes on both sides. Let marinate for 20 minutes or up to overnight. Reserve remaining sauce for a finishing drizzle after the fish has been cooked.

Preheat your oven to 450 F (225 C) with the rack one notch above center or preheat a well oiled grill. Cook the fish in the oven for about 20 minutes or on the grill for 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the side of your fish. Flip halfway through cooking.

Transfer fish to a serving platter and drizzle with reserved marinade while still hot. Garnish with fresh scallions, sesame seeds, lime wedges, radishes, pickled daikon or cucumber and kimchi.

To serve, use a spatula and a large fork or spoon to carefully separate the filets of fish and checks from the bones.
