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

  1. You can use your favorite fish instead of salmon, like my Miso Black Cod!
  2. 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.

  2. I just made this and loved it! The salmon is caramelized on the outside and falls apart into perfectly smooth flakes.

    1. Hey Bob,
      So when you broil, the temp will be 550°, but make sure you are using the broil function on your stove and not actually setting the temperature to that. Place it in the middle rack and watch it super closely. It should take about 7 minutes but everyone’s oven is different so keeping an eye out to make sure it doesn’t burn is so important. Hope that helps!

  4. Hi! Two questions – what did you use to wrap the salmon and did you do it on a baking sheet? For the broiling, did you have your broiler on high or low? I only have settings for broil lol. Thanks

    1. Hey Kay, I just used plastic wrap for marinading. For the broiling I did it on high in the middle rack. I hope that helps! Let me know how it goes ☺️
