Miso Salmon Nobu Copycat 🧡 The first time I tried the Miso Black Cod from Nobu was well over 10 years ago and my life was never the same. I have shared the original version for their Miso Black Cod. I have made a few variations throughout the years and this one with salmon might be my favorite yet! Bryan (my husband) doesn’t love cooked salmon, and he was OBSESSED with this so take it as your sign to give it a shot!

I always get asked to link what Miso Paste I use, and here it is!

Why You’ll Love Miso Salmon Nobu Copycat

The marinade in this recipe makes the salmon develop a very complex and sweet flavor, when broiled it gets caramelized and it truly is perfection. This recipe yields an extremely flavorful and flaky fish. I know the marinating takes some time, but it is 100% worth it.

How To Prepare Miso Salmon Nobu Copycat

🔥 First, boil the mirin and sake for 3 minutes.

❤️ Secondly, add in sugar and miso. Then, cook a couple minutes without boiling. Let it cool.

🐠 Pour it all over your fish. Then, cover it VERY tightly and marinate for 24 hours in the fridge.

🌟 Lastly, broil it (I did 7 minutes) but every oven is different so keep an eye out.

Substitutions and Variations

You can use your favorite fish instead of salmon, like my Miso Black Cod!
You can make this vegetarian by using mushrooms or eggplant instead of salmon!

Chef Nadia’s Tip

Marinate for a full day to develop a better flavor. If you can’t do a minimum of 4 hours.
