Miso-Glazed Black Cod is the zesty and flavorful Asian-inspired dish that makes a lovely dinner any night of the week, but it also doubles as an impressive meal for any dinner party or anytime you would like to impress that special someone in your life.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons Mirin or other Japanese sweet wine
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 (7-ounce) black cod fillets, sablefish, or butterfish

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven rack about 6-inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the aluminum foil.

Whisk miso paste, water, Mirin, sake, and brown sugar together in a small skillet over medium heat until mixture simmers and thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Place cod fillets on prepared baking sheet. Brush fillets all over with miso mixture. Rest fillets at room temperature to quickly marinate, 15 to 20 minutes.

Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet 180°F and continue broiling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove pin bones and serve immediately.
