Grilled Saikyo Miso Black Cod Recipe

Marinating fish in this way began when the Japanese used miso to preserve their fish, in the same way that salting and pickling is popular in other cuisines. Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and black cod are especially delicious prepared in this way, as the miso keeps the moisture in and ensures the fish stays succulent. If you cannot get hold of black cod, go for cod loin, for impossibly moist flakes of fish.
