Garnish and Serve
If you can't find black cod, Chilean sea bass or a high-quality, fatty salmon fillet are good alternatives. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillet.
Add 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger or 1 minced garlic clove to the marinade for an extra layer of aromatic flavor.
For a deeper, more robust flavor, you can use red miso (aka miso) or a mix of white and red miso. Red miso is saltier, so you may want to slightly reduce the amount.
If you don't have a broiler, you can bake the fish at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and caramelized.

Black cod, also known as sablefish, is a rich, oily fish with a buttery texture and mild flavor. It's not actually a type of cod. If you can't find it, the best substitutes are Chilean sea bass or a fatty salmon fillet, as they have a similar high fat content that works well with the glaze.
The glaze contains both mirin and sugar, which caramelize and can burn very quickly under the high heat of a broiler. To prevent this, make sure you wipe off excess marinade before cooking, position the oven rack 4-6 inches from the heat source, and watch the fish very closely during the last few minutes of cooking.
Absolutely. The miso marinade can be prepared and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, making meal prep even easier.
