Sous Vide Miso Butter Cod

Miso-hungry! This quick and easy dish is perfect for those days when you want something satisfying but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg plus a fortune at a restaurant. I recently went to San Diego for my first Comic-con. I was lucky enough to eat at Nobu and I was so inspired to remake the blackened miso cod that we had there. This is my take on the famous dish and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
