Beacon miso cod

In a double boiler over simmering water, combine the miso,

sugar, sake and mirin and whisk until the sugar dissolves, about 4

minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Refrigerate until the

marinade is cold, about 20 minutes. Place the marinade in a baking

dish and add the black cod pieces, turning to coat thoroughly with

the marinade.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.

Remove the cod from the marinade and scrape off most of the

marinade.

Heat the broiler. Place the cod on a greased foil-lined baking

sheet. Place the baking sheet approximately 6 inches below the

broiler unit. Broil 7 to 10 minutes, depending upon the thickness of

the fish, until evenly brown. The fish should flake easily. If not,

broil a little longer. Sprinkle with a touch of rice vinegar and

serve immediately.
