Here’s how to make miso black cod – a simple recipe that requires only 5 ingredients! Start by rinsing the black cod with sake to remove any fishy odor, then pat dry with paper towels. Make the marinade by mixing together equal parts white miso paste, sake, and mirin in a medium bowl, then adding 1-3 teaspoons of sugar, depending on your preference. Reserve about ¼ cup of the marinade to use later, then add the fish to the remaining marinade, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, or up to 2 days. Remove the fish from the marinade and let the excess drip off, then place skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes, until the meat is white and opaque, depending on the thickness of the fish. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the cod with some of the reserved marinade. Remove from the oven, then brush with another thin layer of sauce and broil or use a blowtorch to caramelize the top.
