Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  2. Half 2.11-ounce packet instant dashi
  3. 2 sheets kombu
  4. 1 1/2 pounds black cod fillets, boned
  5. 1 pound baby bok choy
  6. 8 ounces crimini mushrooms
  7. 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms
  8. 8 ounces beech mushrooms
  9. 8 ounces honshimeji mushrooms
  10. Oil, for drizzling
  11. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  12. 2 bunches fresh cilantro
  13. 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  14. 1 cup sugar
  15. 1 cup vinegar
  16. Salt
  17. 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  18. Salmon roe, for garnish
  19. Togarashi powder, for garnish
  20. Scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. For the black cod: Combine the miso paste, dashi and kombu with 1 gallon of water in a stockpot and bring to a simmer. Cook, 5 minutes, then remove the kombu. Transfer some of the broth to a shallow pan and add the cod. Cook, keeping the heat at a very low simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  2. For the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil, then add the bok choy and cook, 30 seconds. Transfer the bok choy to the ice bath. Set aside.
  3. Slice the crimini and shiitake mushrooms. Remove the stems from the beech and honshimeji mushrooms. Drizzle some oil over the mushrooms and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Roast until charred on the edges, about 20 minutes.
  4. For the cilantro oil: Meanwhile, blend the cilantro with the oil in a blender on high for 3 minutes. Set aside.
  5. For the pickled onions: Bring the sugar, vinegar, 1 cup water and 1 cup salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Place the onions in a medium bowl and pour the liquid over. Let steep 10 minutes.
  6. For serving: Arrange 2 to 3 bok choy leaves on each of 4 plates. Top each with a piece of cod and add some broth. Add some mushrooms and drizzle with cilantro oil. Garnish with salmon roe, togarashi, scallions and pickled onions.
