Miso-Glazed Sea Bass
Description
This Miso-Glazed Sea Bass recipe features pieces of sea bass marinated in a mixture of white miso paste, mirin, sake, ginger juice, and palm sugar. The marinade imbues the fish with a mild umami-sweet and slightly spicy note from the ginger. After marinating in the refrigerator for a few hours, the fish is grilled to develop a browned surface, then baked at 350°F until cooked through, preserving moisture and texture.
The cooking method yields a tender, flaky fish with a glaze that adds a hint of caramelized sweetness. The glaze is not rinsed off completely before grilling to maintain flavor while removing excess marinade to prevent burning.
This dish serves well hot and can be accompanied simply by rice or steamed vegetables to balance the rich flavors of the miso glaze. The recipe notes suggest that the skin of Chilean sea bass can be removed after grilling if its fishiness is undesirable.
Using finely grated ginger allows easy extraction of juice, enhancing the marinade's aromatic quality.
Ingredients
- sea bass about 5 oz. (115 g) a piece
- 1 teaspoon White miso paste
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 2 teaspoon sake
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger juice
- 1/2 teaspoon palm sugar or sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the marinade well and save some for the plating. Drop the sea bass into the marinade, coat well, and leave in the fridge for a few hours.
- Preheat an indoor grill and lightly wipe off any excess miso marinade clinging to the sea bass with your fingers, but don’t rinse it off. Place the fish on the grill and cook both sides until the surface turns brown. Transfer the fish fillets to the oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
- Remove the sea bass skin after grilling if you find it fishy; this reduces any strong fish flavors from the skin.
- Grate ginger finely to facilitate easy juicing, which blends smoothly into the marinade.
- Before grilling, gently wipe off excess marinade but do not rinse off as the glaze gives the dish its characteristic flavor.
