BROILED COD
This is the easiest and tastiest fish you'll serve. Even finicky eaters who think they don't like fish will love it because it lacks a fishy taste and is beautiful and flakey. -Kim Russell, North Wales, Pennsylvania

BLACK COD BROILED WITH MISO
Black cod with miso was not invented by Nobu Matsuhisa, the chef at Nobu in TriBeCa, but he certainly popularized it. His time-consuming recipe, which calls for soaking the fish in a sweet miso marinade for a couple of days, is a variation on a traditional Japanese process that uses sake lees, the sweet solids that remain after making sake, to marinate fish. If you broil black cod with nothing but salt, you already have a winning dish. If you broil it with miso - the intensely salty paste made from fermented soybeans - along with some mirin and quite a bit of sugar, you create something stunningly delicious. And no long marination is necessary.

CRUSTY BROILED COD WITH LITTLENECKS AND CHOURIçO
You can substitute linguica, or even Spanish chorizo, for the Portuguese chouriço here. If any of the clams don't open, it's safest to toss them. Eat the lemon quarters as is (the rinds soften and sweeten under the flame) or squeeze the juice over the fish, as you wish.

- Bring sake and mirin to a boil in a saucepan. Boil for 20 seconds over a high heat to evaporate alcohol. Turn heat down to low and add miso paste, mixing with a wooden spoon. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, stirring constantly with the wooden spoon to ensure that the bottom of the pan doesn't burn. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature. Pat fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and preheat grill or broiler. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets, but don't rinse off. Place fish on the grill or in a broiler pan and grill or broil until surface turns brown. Then bake for 10-15 minutes. Arrange the black cod fillets on individual plates and add a few extra drops of miso glaze.
