Preparation

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, cooking sake, granulated sugar, and sesame oil until completely smooth.

2. 2

   Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and coat thoroughly with the miso marinade.

3. 3

   Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes (or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours).

4. 4

   Preheat your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oiling the surface.

5. 5

   Gently wipe off excess miso marinade from the fish fillets to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Arrange fillets on the baking sheet and broil 15 cm from the heat source for 8 to 10 minutes until deeply golden, caramelized, and flaky throughout.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with steamed rice or fresh Asian greens.
