Prepare the Miso Marinade: In a medium saucepan, combine the sake, mirin, white miso paste, and granulated sugar. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar has fully dissolved and the marinade has slightly thickened. Do not boil vigorously.

Remove the marinade from the heat. Transfer it to a bowl and place the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice water (an ice bath) to cool down completely. Stir occasionally to expedite cooling. The marinade should be cold before proceeding.

Marinate the Fish: Arrange the sablefish fillets in a non-reactive baking dish or container, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Once the marinade is completely cooled, pour it generously over the sablefish fillets, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. For best results, gently press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the fish and marinade to ensure maximum contact.

Refrigerate the marinated fish for at least 24 hours, and preferably for 2-3 days, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the fish. This is crucial for the signature taste.
