Miso Glazed Black Cod Recipe

Prepare the Marinade

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, mirin, sake, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate the Cod

Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over the fish. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Grill the Cod

Remove the black cod from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.

Prepare the Rice

While the cod is grilling, heat the cooked rice in a separate pot or microwave until warm. You can season the rice with a pinch of salt if desired.

Serve

Once the black cod is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve the miso glazed black cod over a bed of warm rice, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
