misoyaki butterfish |
 | This is based on a recipe from a Japanese Methodist Church cookbook, but started out as a 2-day, marinate-the-fish-in-the-fridge process. This is just far too many steps and if you are not Very Careful, your whole fridge will smell like miso and fish. I can tell you from personal experience that this is highly undesirable.
This is one of the (very) few things that my mother-in-law actually requests I make for her. |
1-2 butterfish fillets (salmon is OK too)
1/4 cup white miso 2-3T shoyu | 2T white sugar
2T mirin (Japanese rice wine vinegar, the same stuff used to flavor sushi rice) |
Whisk ingredients together. Coat fish and if possible, marinate for at least 30 minutes. Broil (preferred) skin side up, or grill. It is done when the fish flakes nicely and the miso coating is nicely browned.
