Miso Marinated Fish

Over the years I've tested tens of different variations on the recipe: marinating the cod for an hour up to 3 days, cooking the marinade ingredients over heat or just whisking them raw in a bowl. The original recipe uses tons of sugar which I didn't think was the healthiest idea, so I substitute agave with fantastic results.
You can also use different varieties of fish or even try scallops, but black cod is always my first choice. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids and has a mild flavor which is perfect for kids. I served this to my family and friends recently and let everyone roll pieces of fish in leaves of Bibb lettuce and eat it like a sandwich. The cool, crisp taste of the lettuce combined with the warm piece of miso cod was like heaven in every bite! There's no reason why you can’t have the world's best dishes at home.

- miso - 1/2 (yellow or white)

- Serve
