Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of miso paste, ¼ cup of mirin, ¼ cup of sake, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar until smooth and well-blended.
Generously coat your black cod fillets with the miso marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Preheat your grill or oven to a medium-high temperature of around 400°F (200°C) about 30 minutes before cooking.
Remove the black cod from the refrigerator, let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then grill or bake for 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked black cod to a serving platter and pair with sautéed greens or steamed rice.
