Liberally salt one side of the black cod fillets with about 2 teaspoons of salt.

Flip the fillets over and salt the skin side as well.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mirin and 1/4 cup of sake, bringing it to a boil.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the mirin and sake mixture and stir until dissolved.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Gently rinse the salt off the black cod fillets with a small dash of sake on each one.

Wipe off the excess salt with a paper towel.

Pour the cooled marinade over the black cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

Let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days, with 3 days being ideal for maximum flavor.
