👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine miso paste, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, and soy sauce in a bowl. Whisk until smooth to create the marinade.
2. Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the fish is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, ideally 2-3 days.
3. Preheat your broiler to high. Remove the cod from the marinade, gently scraping off any excess marinade but leaving a thin layer on the fish. Pat dry the non-skin side if present.
4. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease. Place the cod fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Broil for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly charred at the edges. Watch carefully to prevent burning due to the sugar content.
6. Serve immediately, often garnished with finely sliced scallions or sesame seeds. Enjoy with steamed rice and vegetables.
