Preparation
- Step 1
Heat broiler; set rack 3 to 4 inches from heat source. Combine first three ingredients in a small saucepan and, over low heat, bring almost to a boil, stirring occasionally just until blended; mixture will be fairly thin. Turn off heat.
- Step 2
Put fillets in an ovenproof baking dish or skillet, preferably nonstick, and spoon half the sauce on top. Broil until sauce bubbles and begins to brown, then spoon remaining amount over fish. Continue to broil, adjusting heat or rack position if sauce or fish is browning too quickly, until fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.

For the miso - most miso I have seen is sold in a paste form. Does this mean a whole cup of the miso paste should be added? That sounds like too much since I will often use only a tablespoon or two for a soup or stir-fry.
I have never seen black cod in my market in NorCal...substitutions?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT USE 1 CUP OF MISO PASTE. Completely overpowers the fish. It should be more like 1-2 tablespoons. Please save yourself from having to send in an oil spill cleanup crew to scrape the sauce off of your precious fish. #regrets On a positive note, the broiling method was magical. A+ flakiness.
I've cooked the cod on the grill and seared & finished in an oven. Always fabulous.
I used less miso paste (red), and less sugar (brown). I used the original amount of Chardonnay, and the flavor was plentiful. I broiled at 500 for about 8 minutes. I mixed in halved cherry tomatoes and a big pinch of green onion into the second half of the sauce. I broiled for another 6ish minutes. I let it sit in the oven to continue cooking as it cooled. I served with green onion parsley, Maldon salt and pepper!
Like others, I found this to be too sweet (and I’m a huge fan of sugar). It also made way too much sauce. Black cod is a fantastic fish, so you don’t need to do much to make it taste good. I usually just bake it with salt and olive oil. Next time, I’ll make 1/4 the amount of sauce and cut the sugar even more.
