Miso-marinated Sablefish (Black Cod)
There are many reasons to love black cod — it is sustainably fished, full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and wonderfully buttery when cooked. Here’s one more: a classic Japanese recipe for black cod that makes an easy, elegant dinner for guests or a quick main dish you can prep over the weekend. This popular take on black cod yields delicious results and is easy to do in your broiler. The longer you marinate it the richer it will be, but a quick 30 minutes will do the trick too.

Grilled Swordfish with Tomatoes and Oregano by Claire Saffitz
From bon appetit: “We're flipping the script and marinating after grilling. Inspired by the technique called escabèche, where cooked fish and meat are preserved in an acidic mixture, we're cooking first, marinating second—in this case, it's swordfish steaks in a punchy red wine vinegar dressing with capers and oregano. There’s only a kiss of honey in there, but it’s an essential player. With all the briny flavors from fish and the capers, you need a touch of sweetness for balance.”
