From Sparrow’s dinner menu, the Pacific Black Cod is a silky, refined seafood entree here in Kirkland ($52).
About the Dish
Pacific black cod, also known as sablefish, is prized for its buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and we keep it simple to let that shine. The sablefish is pan seared and served over steamed jasmine rice with roasted broccolini, bell peppers and scallions, all brought together by a maple soy sauce that adds a gentle sweet-savory glaze. It is an elegant plate that still feels right at home on a relaxed Eastside evening, and the clean preparation lets the quality of the fish carry the dish.
What to Drink With It
Rich fish with a touch of sweetness in the sauce calls for a bright, aromatic white or a glass of bubbles. The Eroica Riesling is a natural match for the maple soy, with just enough fruit to echo the glaze, and the Veuve Clicquot makes it a celebration. More on the Sparrow beverages menu.
