Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Black Cod, roughly 2 large fillets AKA Butterfish or Sablefish. Can use salmon as well.

Miso Marinade

  • 1 cup Miso Paste
  • ½ cup White Sugar
  • 1 cup Sake

Instructions
 

  • Add sake to a sauce pan and begin heating over medium-high heat. Whisk in sugar and miso paste until ingredients are fully combined. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and let cool.
  • Seal in an airtight container and marinate fish at least 24 hours prior to cooking, flipping in between (or every 12 hours if letting marinate longer). Can marinate up to 3 days if fish is very fresh.
  • Place oven on broil. Place rack on top level. Spoon some marinade over the fish and place skin side down in either a nonstick pan or greased pan. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping an eye on the fish. Remove from oven, flip the fish and broil for another 2 minutes, again keeping an eye on the fish so as to not burn it or dry it out.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: Fish can be intimidating for some as it overcooks quickly.  This dish will require attention during the short cooking time to avoid burning the fish or drying it out.  Fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork while remaining moist.
If fillets are smaller, reduce cooking time accordingly or cook on 400 degrees for 7 - 10 minutes.
