Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. Sake
- 1 tbsp. Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. Miso paste (white or dark aged, depending on your preference)
- 2 tbsp. Sugar
- 1/2 lb Fresh sea bass (2 fillets)
- 1 Green onion
Instructions
- In a bowl mix sake, soy sauce, rice vinegar, miso paste and sugar. Whisk until well mixed. Be sure to taste it, and add sugar to taste. I added about 1 more teaspoon one pinch at a time -- it was perfect for me and a bit sweet for my wife.
- With the skin still on, place the sea bass fillets in the marinade bowl, cover and chill for 6+ hours. If your fillets are frozen, they will defrost but will take closer to 9 hours of marination time.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven on broil (the 550F setting if you have multiple) and move a rack to 6" from the top coils.
- If you're steaming some veggies on the side (we went for snow peas), get that started now.
- Place a piece of foil on a baking sheet and wrap the fillets in the foil. You're welcome to add a bit more of the marinate for the broiling here. I poured about 2 tablespoons over each fillet before wrapping. Wrap in such a way that the juices won't leak out.
- Broil for 8-9 minutes. Since our fillets were still a touch frozen inside, 9 1/2 minutes was perfect (I froze ours the day before not knowing when we'd be cooking the sea bass).
- Place each fillet on a bed of sushi rice and enjoy!
