Two to 3 days beforehand (at minimum, 4 hours) make the miso marinade and marinate the fish. Bring the sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Boil for 20 seconds to evaporate the alcohol. Turn the heat down to low, add the miso paste, and whisk. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, whisking constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pan. Add soy sauce and blend in. Remove from heat once ingredients are fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
