Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 pieces of sea bass fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Fish spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce.
  2. Place the sea bass fillets in the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Drizzle olive oil in an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Carefully place the marinated sea bass fillets skin-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Bake the sea bass for 10 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  7. If you desire a golden crust, switch the oven to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the fish overnight in the refrigerator.
