Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup brown miso
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Four 8-ounce black cod fillets, skin on
Vegetable or canola oil, for the grill
3 limes, halved

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for medium heat.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the mirin, sake and sugar and bring to a simmer on the grill. Whisk until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the grill and whisk in the miso, sriracha and rice vinegar. Cool.
  • Place the cod fillets into a zip-top bag. When the miso mixture has cooled, pour over the cod, seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. The longer fish marinates, the better.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 400 to 450°F.
  • Liberally grease the grates of your grill with the oil.
  • Remove the fish from the marinade and allow the excess to drain off.
  • Meanwhile, place the limes, cut-side down, onto the direct heat side of the grill and grill until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place the fish, skin-side down, on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is flaky and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a serving platter and squeeze 1 of the grilled limes all over the fish. Serve with the remaining grilled limes.
