This miso-based marinade makes an amazing glaze for grilled cod. If you don’t have a fish basket, line an area of your grill with foil to prevent the fish from sticking. Or broil the fish instead. Cod makes an excellent choice for grilling. When the fish begins to flake and turn opaque, it's time to flip it. Use a wider spatula when turning the fish to help prevent the fish from flaking apart when turning.
