Grilled Black Cod with Asian Glaze

Black cod (aka sablefish) is a white fish with a buttery-creamy texture (think sea bass). It feels decadent and tastes wonderful with this Asian-inspired glaze.

Grilled Black Cod with Asian Glaze
Serves four.


1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Juice of half of a lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6 ounce) skinless black cod fillets, about 1 inch thick


Whisk together the first five ingredients until well-combined and season with salt and pepper to taste.


Place the black cod fillets on a large piece of foil, season with salt and pepper and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the fillets to coat. Place the foil with the fillets directly on the grill, close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to your liking and the mayonnaise mixture starts to bubble and become a shiny glaze. Serve immediately garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
