Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you will need:
- 2 Wild-Caught Chilean Sea Bass Fillets
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, finely sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Preparation
Now that we have everything ready, let’s get started on the preparation.
First, we need to make the miso marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, sake, mirin, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together until you have a smooth and well-blended marinade. The combination of miso, sake, and mirin creates a beautiful balance of flavors that will enhance the chilean sea bass.
Next, place the chilean sea bass fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the fish, ensuring that each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, letting it marinate for a few hours or even overnight will deepen the flavors.
When you are ready to cook, preheat your broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Remove the chilean sea bass from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
Broil the fish for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the top is beautifully caramelized. Keep a close eye on it, as broilers can vary in intensity. You want the glaze to bubble and turn a lovely golden brown without burning.
Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute. To serve, transfer the fillets to plates and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables, making for a complete and satisfying meal.
Miso glazed chilean sea bass is a delightful way to enjoy the unique flavors of miso while highlighting the delicate nature of sea bass. Whether you are cooking for yourself or entertaining guests, this dish is sure to be a hit. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
