White Miso Baked Chilean Sea Bass

Momma Jenny's Note:

I got this recipe from my favorite Japanese restaurant. It is so simple and soooo deliscious! I did have to go to the Asian market to get a few ingredients though.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 sea bass fillets, Chilean
• 1/2 cup white miso
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup mirin (sweet cooking seasoning)
• 1/4 cup cooking wine (the exact ingredient is "Rice Cooking Wine," but the site won't accept that)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions:

1. mix all ingredients.
2. marinade sea bass overnite in fridge.
3. preheat oven to 400.
4. set fish on counter and bring to room temp before cooking.
5. remove fish from marinade and cook in baking pan at 400 for about 8-12 minutes (the thickness of the fish can cause a variance in cooking time).
6. If you want the top to brown, put it in the broiler for just a couple minutes.

This was really good though we didn't really taste much of the marinade in the fish (but it made it brown very nicely). I had a thick, 1 1/2", round filet of chilean sea bass and so I poked holes in it with a fork to let the marinade seep in. I did not wipe off the marinade, just let it drain away and then placed it in the baking pan. I proceeded as per the directions....baked it, then broiled a bit. It colored up nicely and was very tasty. I'll make this again but may tinker with it. Thanks Nenny!
