For this week's Chopped Dinner Challenge, the chefs of Food Network Kitchen chose to feature the basket ingredient black cod. Instead of marinating this flaky fish in something a bit more traditional, like miso and honey, the chefs decided to go a more unconventional route by combining grape jelly, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar for a sweet, savory and fruity flavor that soaks into the fish's buttery flesh in this Grape Jelly-Glazed Black Cod recipe. The best part about the mixture is its versatility: It does triple duty as a marinade and, once boiled down, as a glaze to brush on during broiling and to serve as a sauce tableside.

To create the marinade, place the soy sauce, jelly and vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the jelly melts, about 1 minute. Once the marinade cools, place it over the cod in a resealable plastic bag and leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.

Remove the cod from the marinade and place the marinade from the plastic bag into a saucepan. Place the cod on the baking sheet.

Bring the glaze to a boil and then turn off the heat. Remove 2 tablespoons of the glaze from the pot and brush the cod with the glaze. Broil the cod about 5 inches from the heat, brushing with additional glaze halfway through, until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir together the scallions and the orange zest and sprinkle over the fish.  Serve with the rest of the sauce and some white rice.
