Ingredients

1/2 cup mirin (sweet sake)
1/2 cup sake
1 cup white or yellow miso paste
3/4 cup sugar
4 (6 to 8-ounce) black cod fillets
Steamed white rice, accompaniment
Cucumber Relish, recipe follows
Green onions, cut on the bias, garnish
1 tablespoon lightly toasted white and dark sesame seeds, garnish

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring the mirin and sake to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the miso and stir until dissolved. Add the sugar, return to a low heat, and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.

Place the fish in a non-reactive baking dish. Cover with the cooled marinade, cover with plastic, and let marinate overnight refrigerated, or at least 4 hours.

Preheat the broiler.

Remove the fish from the marinade and place on a broil pan. Blot the miso from the fillets with a kitchen towel. Broil until lightly browned and the fish is opaque in the center, 6 to 10 minutes, depending upon the size of the fillets and the height of the broiler element.

Remove from the oven. Spoon rice onto each of 4 plates and top with the fillets. Arrange the cucumber relish to the side of the fish, and garnish each serving with the green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Cucumber Relish:

1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Sprinkle the cucumber with the salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Pat dry in kitchen towels. In a bowl, combine the cucumber slices with the remaining ingredients. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Serve slightly chilled.

Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Mixed results!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I chose to try this recipe because of the other high star reviews and because I love ordering the miso marinated broiled fish... at japanese restaurants. The sauce was very easy to make and tasted great when I tried it out. I only marinated the fish for about 4 hours because the cod I got was smaller in size. Used toaster oven broiler to broil the fish. It smelled good, but the taste of the fish was too sugary. It looked nice but didn't taste as good as I expected it to be. I was a tad bit disappointed. Am not sure if I would be making it again.Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I finally prepared ahead of time for a meal, and I was very happy I did! The only thing was that I broiled the fish for 11... minutes, and the top was very slightly singed, which actually added to the flavor. Yum!Read more
