📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

3. Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel, then lightly season them with salt and pepper.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Add the halibut fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

6. Flip the fillets carefully and spread the miso glaze generously over the top of each piece using a spoon or brush.

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the halibut rest for a minute or two.

9. Garnish the fillets with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

10. Serve the miso glazed halibut with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a light salad for a complete meal.
