Instructions

1

Prepare the marinade

In a bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for even sweetness.

2

Marinate the fish

Place the Chilean sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.

Pro tip: The longer the marination, the deeper the flavour.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

4

Sear the fish

Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated sea bass fillets, skin side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Pro tip: Don't move the fish around to ensure a nice crust forms.

5

Bake the fish

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).

6

Serve

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices.

Pro tip: Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavour.
