Miso-Glazed Black Cod

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup white miso paste
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tbsp sake
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 4 black cod fillets (6 oz each)
• Vegetable oil (for grilling/broiling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: Whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, and sugar until smooth.
2. Marinate the Fish: Coat fillets in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight for best flavor).
3. Preheat Grill or Oven: Prepare for grilling or broiling.
4. Remove Excess Marinade: Wipe off extra marinade to prevent burning.
5. Cook the Fish:
   • Grilling: Oil the grill, cook fillets skin-side down for 5-7 minutes per side.
   • Broiling: Place fish on a foil-lined sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, watching for caramelization.
6. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot off the grill or out of the broiler!

The miso marinade creates a rich, umami flavor that complements the delicate black cod perfectly. Enjoy your meal!
