Miso Grilled Fish

Miso Grilled Fish is a savory and umami-rich dish that features tender fish marinated in a miso glaze, then grilled to perfection. This low-carb Japanese lunch option is both healthy and satisfying, making it a delightful choice for any meal.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut) - 300 grams
• Miso paste (white or yellow) - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (sliced) - for garnish
• Lemon wedges - for serving

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
4. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Place the fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and lemon wedges on the side.
