- 1 1/2 pound cod or sea bass fillets
- 1 1/2 cups (300 g) white miso
- 1/3 cup (85 ml) sake
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine), for basting
- 4 ounces (125 g) daikon radish (about 2 inches), freshly grated or 4 pieces pickled daikon, to serve
- Japanese soy sauce, to serve
- Cut the cod into four serving pieces. Combine the miso, sake, sugar and ground red pepper (if using) in a bowl.
- Add the cod fillets and rub the marinate into the fish so that they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
- Remove the cod fillets and scrape off the miso.
- Cut a shallow cross on the surface of each fillet and broil under low heat for about 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
- Brush the cod fillets with mirin each time you turn them over to add a shiny glaze to the fish.
- Serve the grilled cod immediately with the grated or pickled daikon and Japanese soy sauce on the side.
