Don’t overthink it. The simplest recipe? Salt, pepper, a little butter or miso, and 12 minutes at 400°F. That’s it. You can pan-sear it, bake it, or even slow-poach it in oil (if you’re feeling fancy). The fat keeps it forgiving, so you won’t ruin dinner if you check your phone mid-cook.
Pro tip: A splash of lemon or soy sauce will make you feel like a chef. But honestly? Leftover black cod, cold, straight from the fridge, at 2 AM? Unironically incredible. Don’t judge me until you try it.
