• STAFF-FAVORITE

Ingredients

1. 3 tablespoons mirin
2. 3 tablespoons sake
3. 1/2 cup white miso paste
4. 1/3 cup sugar
5. Six 6- to 7-ounce skinless black cod fillets, about 1 1/2 inches thick
6. Vegetable oil, for grilling
7. Pickled ginger, for serving

1. In a small saucepan, bring the mirin and sake to a boil. Whisk in the miso until dissolved. Add the sugar and cook over moderate heat, whisking, just until dissolved. Transfer the marinade to a large baking dish and let cool. Add the fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Heat a grill pan and oil it. Scrape the marinade off the fish. Add the fish and cook over high heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the fish onto a heavy rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until flaky. Transfer to plates and serve with pickled ginger.
