Marinate the Black Cod
Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure that the fish is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Preheat the Oven

Bake the Black Cod
Remove the black cod from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Caramelize the Fish
For an added touch of caramelization, switch your oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep an eye on the fish to prevent burning.
