Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (about 6 ounces each) Sea bass fillets
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2.5 tablespoons Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2.5 tablespoons Sake
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Remove the sea bass fillets from the marinade and gently wipe off any excess. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable.
Bake the sea bass fillets in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If desired, place the fillets under the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the sea bass from the oven and let rest for a minute. Transfer to serving plates.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
