Grilled Miso Fish Fillets

  3.5 – 2 reviews  • Fish
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds halibut steaks, about 1-inch thick (to be cut into 6-ounce serving portions)
  2. 1/2 cup sweet white miso (shiro miso)
  3. 1/3 cup sweetened rice wine (mirin)
  4. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  5. 2 tablespoons minced scallion greens

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fish steaks under cold, running water and drain thoroughly in a colander. Cut the steaks into six pieces and place in a bowl.
  2. Add the Miso Marinade to the fish steaks and toss lightly to coat the fish steaks. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or for several hours.
  3. Prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling and place the grill about 3 inches above the coals. Remove the fish from the Miso Marinade, spreading the Marinade with your hands so that there is a light coating. Arrange the fish steaks on the grill and cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque all the way through. Alternatively you may broil the fish about 7-9 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife. The miso glaze should bubble and brown at the edges. Remove and serve with steamed rice and stir-fried or steamed vegetables.

We tried it with Sea Bass, and it was wonderful. Also, don’t limit yourself to White Miso. I found a brown Miso paste that tasted great and didnt change the color of the fish at all.

We liked this recipe okay, a little too miso-y for our taste. We didn’t use the recommended fish, though, so it could very well have effected the outcome. Not bad, but I have other marinades I prefer.
