Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Black cod fillets (also known as sablefish)
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 3 tablespoons Mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
- 3 tablespoons Sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the white miso paste, mirin, sake, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the marinade is smooth and glossy. Remove it from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Pat the black cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in a shallow dish and pour the cooled miso marinade over them, ensuring the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate the fish in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
Step 3
When ready to cook, preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush the surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the marinade and gently shake off any excess marinade (do not rinse). Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet with the skin side down.
Step 5
Broil the fish on the middle rack of the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish to prevent burning, as the marinade’s sugar content can cause it to brown quickly.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the cooked fish to serving plates and garnish with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice, pickled vegetables, or sautéed greens.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious Black Cod with Miso!
