Method

Preparation Steps

In a mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and soy sauce until smooth.
Pat black cod fillets dry and place in a dish or resealable bag; pour marinade over ensuring fish is submerged and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After marinating, remove fillets and shake off excess marinade; arrange skin-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Switch to broil for 1 to 2 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and golden brown, watching closely.
Let rest for about 2 minutes before serving, garnished with sliced green onions.
