Recently we found some fresh black cod in the market. Black cod, also known as sablefish, is actually not considered a true cod. Where cod is light and flaky, black cod is plump and oily. When cooked, the result is tender and buttery.
I've enjoyed grilled black cod in Japanese restaurants many times, but had never cooked it myself, so we purchased two fish for a big family dinner we were preparing. We simmered it Asian-style in a delicious mixture of soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), sake and ginger.
It was simple, beautiful, and even got big cheers from the kids.
Ginger Soy Black Cod
4-6 black cod steaks
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup mirin
1 cup sake
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
Handful of green onions, chopped
Place the steaks in a large saucepan. Add the liquids and ginger and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Nice take on this dish, I wonder if it would still go well if I use a different fish. (hey, that rhymes!) Thanks for the suggestion, this would sure go well with a cup of hot steaming rice.
