Miso Marinated Fish

Miso Marinated Fish is a flavorful and healthy dish that combines the umami richness of miso with the delicate texture of fish. This Paleo-friendly recipe is simple to prepare and offers a delightful taste of Japanese cuisine.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut) - 300 grams
• White miso paste - 3 tablespoons
• Sake - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the miso paste, sake, mirin, honey, and sesame oil, mixing well until smooth to create the marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking tray. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
6. Garnish the baked fish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
