Sake Kasu-Marinated Cod

Arrange fish in a 2-inch-deep dish just large enough to hold fish in 1 layer. Blend remaining ingredients except oil in a blender until smooth, then pour over fish and turn fish to coat well. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off, and transfer to a plate. Discard marinade. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear fish (skillet will be full) on 1 side only until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes (use caution, as oil will spatter). Gently turn fish over and roast in middle of oven (if handle of your skillet is not overproof, wrap handle in a triple layer of foil, shiny side out) until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.

Serves 6.
