BROILED COD WITH HOISIN GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together the hoisin sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Add the cod and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the fish from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and arrange on the pan (if the fillets are skin-on, arrange them skin-side down).
• Broil the fish 4 minutes. Brush with the reserved marinade, making sure to coat the top and sides. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and broil until the fish is charred in spots and flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Combine ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl, then rub the mixture on the fillets, massaging with fingers to coat evenly.
• Place the fish in one layer in a baking dish, and tightly cover the dish with foil. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before baking.

BROILED COD WITH SESAME-MISO SAUCE

• Brush fish with oil, then sprinkle on a bit of cayenne. Place fish on a baking sheet, preferably nonstick, and put in broiler.
