Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.

Step 2

Whisk miso, water, mirin, sake, and brown sugar together in a small skillet over medium heat until mixture simmers and thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Place cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush fillets all over with cooled miso mixture. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue broiling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove pin bones before serving.

Gather all ingredients.
