Ingredients for Miso-Glazed Chilean Sea Bass

ingredients for miso-glazed chilean sea bass: sake, mirin, miso, gf soy, brown sugar, chilean sea bass fillets, scallions, and black sesame seeds

As I stated, “EASY.” The ingredients are Chilean sea bass, gluten free soy sauce, miso paste, mirin, sake, and brown sugar. The dish is garnished with scallions/chives and sesame seeds.

Miso Marinade

Combine the miso marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Then add Chilean sea bass fillets to the marinade and fully coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 2 and up to 6 hours in the refrigerator.

Cooking the Chilean Sea Bass

Remove fillets from the marinade (but don’t throw away marinade!) and place them on a baking sheet or broiler pan lined with either foil or parchment. Broil fish for 6-7 minutes, until fish is opaque and caramelized on top.

Converting Miso Marinade into a Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sake can be purchased at most liquor stores
  • 1/3 cup mirin*
  • 1/3 cup light yellow or white miso* I use Shirakiku Organic, Gluten Free Miso
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce I use San-J
  • 4 6-ounce Chilean Sea Bass fillets each about 3/4 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons green onions(scallions or chives) chopped, optional
  • 2 teaspoons black and/or white sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Mix first 5 ingredients (sake, mirin, miso, brown sugar, and soy sauce) in shallow bowl or baking dish. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 and up to 6 hours, if possible.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Remove fish from marinade (but don't throw away marinade!) and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and spray with non-stick cooking oil. With broiler door slightly open, broil fish approx. 6 inches from heat source until just opaque in center and caramelized on top, about 6-7 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish fillets.
  • While fish is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Now you can use the marinade as a delicious sauce for the fish!
  • Once fish is cooked, transfer fillets to individual plates or a platter. Sprinkle with green onions, black sesame seeds, and serve.

Notes

*Mirin is a sweet Japanese wine and Miso is a fermented soybean paste.  Both are available at Asian markets, specialty foods stores, and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
Since Chilean Sea Bass is an expensive fish. I look to buy it when it’s on sale.  Whole Foods has been offering frequent and substantial discounts lately so check them out if you have a store near you!
Some sakes may have traces of gluten.  If you’re not particularly sensitive to trace gluten, you probably won’t have a problem with any sake.
This delicious marinade can also be used on tofu, chicken, and other types of fish.
