Healthy Miso Fish Marinade
A Japanese-inspired marinade of miso and mirin (sweet rice wine) makes for a healthy and delicious piece of fish. Serve with brown rice or soba noodles.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup miso
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup mirin or sweet sherry
- 4-6 fish steaks, about 3/4
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine miso, water and mirin in a small saucepan. Heat over a moderate-low flame for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to dissolve the miso.
- Pour into a baking dish big enough to hold all the fish steaks in one layer. Pat the fish steaks dry.
- Place in baking dish. Let sit for 15 minutes. Turn over and marinate for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator. You can marinate it overnight if you want.
- Turn once or twice. Stoke up the grill or broiler. Remove fish from marinade. Grill steaks for 3 minutes per side, about.
- Place on serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper. Serve. Note: Mirin is sweet rice wine. Look for it in the supermarket with other Asian ingredients or at an Asian market.
