Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, and grated ginger until smooth.
Marinate the cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and coat them evenly with the miso marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat the broiler: Set your oven to broil and position the rack about 6 inches below the heating element. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Prepare for cooking: Remove the cod from the marinade, gently wiping off excess (but leaving a thin layer). Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the cod: Broil for about 8-10 minutes, until the surface is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice and vegetables.
Chef's Tips
- Marinating Time: For best results, marinate the fish for 24-48 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
- Alternative Cooking: If you don't have a broiler, you can bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
- Fish Substitution: If black cod is unavailable, you can use salmon or sablefish as alternatives.
- Glaze Control: Wipe off excess marinade to prevent burning, but leave enough for flavor and caramelization.
- Serving Suggestion: Pairs beautifully with pickled vegetables to cut through the richness.
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, though best enjoyed fresh.
