Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine miso paste, sugar, sake, and mirin. Whisk until smooth to create the marinade.
  2. Place black cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C) about 20 minutes before cooking. Let the fish sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove excess marinade and place black cod skin-side down on the grill or baking sheet. Cook for 10-15 minutes until flaky and caramelized.
  5. Serve the black cod with sautéed vegetables or steamed rice, drizzled with any remaining marinade.
