Black Cod with Miso (Miso-Marinated Black Cod)

Ingredients

2-3 black cod fillets, about 1 lb

For the marinade:

1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
4 tablespoons white miso paste
3 tablespoons sugar

Directions

In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly. Pour into a container (with lid) and set aside. Save some marinade for plating purposes.

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and put them into the container with the marinade. Cover and leave in the refrigerator overnight or for 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degree F.

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill.

Lightly wipe off (with fingers) any excess miso marinade clinging to the fish fillets but don't rinse it off. Place the fish on the grill and lightly grill on both sides until the surface turns brown.

Transfer the fish fillets to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Add a few extra drops of the marinate on the plate and serve hot.
