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. Cool to room temperature.

• In a medium saucepan combine the sake and mirin and carefully flambe. When the flames die out, add the water and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the miso and, using an immersion blender, dissolve the miso into the liquid. Transfer the mixture to a double boiler and cook until caramel in color and all of the lumps are gone, abut 45 minutes. Cool.
• Turn the heat down to low and add the miso paste, mixing with a wooden spoon. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add 1 tablespoon of 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. Cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Over a double boiler, combine miso, sugar, sake, and mirin and whisk until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate for a few hours so that marinade is cold and add black cod fillets or fillet pieces. Marinate for 24 to 48 hours in refrigerator.
• Remove from marinade and scrape off most of marinade that is coating the fish. Preheat oven to broil (oven should be very hot and heat should be coming from the top down). Place fish on a greased foil-lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet approximately 6 inches away from top heating element. Broil 7 to 10 minutes, until browned. Depending on the thickness of the fish, fish should flake away; otherwise, bake an additional few minutes.
