Miso Black Cod is a delicate dish featuring tender, flaky cod fillets marinated in a sweet and savory miso mixture, made with white sugar, miso paste, mirin, and sake. The fish is then roasted until caramelized on the outside and succulent on the inside, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture that showcases the delightful interplay of flavors.
The delicate flavors of miso-marinated black cod pair beautifully with a crisp, refreshing Albariño. This white grape variety offers citrus and mineral notes that complement the sweet, umami-rich miso glaze. The wine's bright acidity cuts through the richness of the fish, while its medium body matches the cod's tender texture. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruity Carménère red can also work well with this dish.
