Sake Marinated Black Cod

I have already extolled the virtues of the LCBOs Food & Drink magazine on this blog.  I have found so many "keepers" from within it's pages.  This recipe comes from Summer 2008.  I have always thought that sablefish and black cod were the same fish, but wikipedia tells me they are not.  So I have to say, I prefer this recipe with sablefish if available.  You will want to keep a close eye on the fish while under the broiler as the sugar in the marinade means it will darken quickly.   I served it tonight for dinner with a soba noodle salad, and even the kids ate every bite.  Enjoy!

Sake Marinated Black Cod (or Sablefish)


1/4 c soy sauce
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sake
1/4 tsp grated, peeled fresh ginger
1/4 tsp grated garlic
16-24 oz black cod or sablefish

Whisk together first 6 ingredients.  Pour over fish, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, and up to overnight.
Preheat broiler.  Remove fish from marinade and place on a tinfoil lined baking sheet.  Broil 3-6 inches from heat source for 8-10 minutes.
