Try this simplified take on miso-glazed black cod, made famous by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa! Not only does it offer an amazing taste and texture, but it's also one of the easiest fish recipes you'll ever make. The sauce takes just a few minutes, followed by some brushing, a short wait, and then broiling. I prefer broiling only one side to achieve a beautifully caramelized top and a super juicy interior. Cooking times may vary, so broil until the fish flakes easily and the bones pull out effortlessly.

Ingredients

cooking spray
3 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 (7 ounce) black cod fillets

Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients for this recipe.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small skillet, whisk together miso, water, mirin, sake, and brown sugar over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture slightly thickens, about 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely for 3 to 5 minutes.
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush the cooled miso mixture over all sides of the fillets. Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue broiling until the fish easily flakes with a fork, approximately 5 minutes more. Remove any pin bones before serving.
Serve the delicious miso glazed black cod with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
