Grilled Black Cod with Soy Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 black cod fillets
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon sake
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Cod:
   • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger.
   • Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure both sides are coated.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
2. Prepare the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Cod:
   • Remove the cod from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
   • Place the cod on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste occasionally with the reserved marinade during cooking.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the grilled cod hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a side of sautéed vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
