Miso Black Cod
Miso Black Cod features delicate fillets marinated overnight in a mixture of white miso, sake, mirin, and sugar, infusing the fish with a balanced salty and sweet flavor. The brief grilling before finishing in the oven gives the cod a lightly charred surface while keeping the interior tender and moist. This method highlights the richness of the black cod with a subtle umami glaze, ideal for a refined seafood dish.

Ingredients
- 2-3 black cod about 1 lb. (0.4 kg, fillets
For the marinate:
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 4 tablespoons White miso paste
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Mix the Marinade ingredients thoroughly in a plastic container with a lid and set aside, reserving some for plating purposes.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the plastic container with the marinade. Cover the container with a lid and let the fish steep in the refrigerator overnight or for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C) and preheat an indoor grill at the same time.
- Lightly wipe off any excess miso marinade clinging to the fish fillets with your fingers, but do not rinse it off. Place the fish on the grill and lightly grill both sides until the surface turns brown.
- Transfer the fish fillets to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add a few extra drops of the marinade to the plate and serve hot.

Notes
- Use white miso paste to achieve the intended mild, sweet miso flavor.
- Substitute black cod with sea bass or salmon fillets as alternatives.
- For a thicker plating sauce, gently heat the marinade to reduce or use slightly less sake and mirin in the marinade.
