Instructions

1. Over medium-high heat, boil miso and salt in 2 cups water until miso is diluted in the water, about 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and let reduce to about 1/4 cup syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Lay cod fillets in a nonreactive shallow container such as a glass baking dish. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the reduction over each fillet, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the cod until it flakes, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest.
4. Garnish with chives.
