MISO GLAZED FISH

This is different from the usual miso, sugar, mirin, sake glaze as it adds egg. You can either broil, grill outside or grill inside using electric fish broiler. This sauce works well with white fish such as cod, sole, butterfish, sablefish or chilean bass.

MISO-GLAZED FISH



Miso-Glazed Fish image

Most recipes for miso-glazed fish are for salmon, because fatty fish are well suited for this preparation and salmon is particularly delicious. Nobu Matsuhisa is known for his miso-marinated black cod, which he marinates for two to three days. I can't imagine finding fish fresh enough to marinate for that long, so in my recipe I marinate the fish for a few hours before broiling and then finishing, if necessary, in the oven. The marinade is based on the Matsuhisa recipe, but I've reduced the sugar considerably.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 salmon, trout, Arctic char, mahi mahi or black cod fillets, about 6 ounces each

Steps:

  • Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
  • Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
  • Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, cod, or halibut work best. Avoid delicate fish such as tilapia or sole, as they may fall apart during cooking.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for fish that is bright and shiny, with no off-odors.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Use a good quality miso paste: The miso paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different types of fish, vegetables, and herbs to create your own unique dish.

Conclusion:

Miso-glazed fish is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It's a great way to enjoy the benefits of fish and miso paste. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with rice or your favorite vegetables.
