I've recently started using Agave nectar, a natural sweetener made from the agave plant that has many healthy properties. This dish is my version of one of my favorite restaurant dishes- miso-glazed black cod made famous by chef Nobu Matsuhisa at his restaurant Nobu. The first time I tried the dish, I fell in love with the tender, flaky fish and the complex flavors of the miso marinade. I like to make this dish with salmon- I think the richness of the salmon works nicely with the sweet marinade. I find that the key to cooking salmon is to not overcook it. I take it out of the oven when I think it is slightly underdone- it will continue to cook a little so that it's perfect when you're ready to eat. If you don't have agave nectar, regular sugar can be used (about 1 1/2 times the amount of agave nectar).
