Minimalist Japanese Recipe: BAKED MISO FISH

White fish provides the perfect base to showcase the rich salty, umami flavors of miso which is grilled/baked to create a slightly sweet, charcoal taste.

Prep time: Half a day   |   Cook time: 10 mins   |   Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 2 slices of white fish
• 2 tbsp miso
• 2 tbsp sake
• 1 tbsp mirin

Instructions

1. Marinate the fish by combining all the ingredients to make a sauce and leaving it in the fridge for at least half a day.
