Bring the sauce to a quick boil, then reduce to a simmer and let it thicken for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Brush the thickened sauce onto the black cod fillets.

Place the black cod under the broiler, about 3-4 inches away from the coils, and cook without flipping for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.

Garnish the cooked black cod with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion.
