Instructions
Citrus Miso Marinade
- In a small saucepan combine together sake, mirin and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil to dissolve sugar and cook off alcohol from sake.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat then add miso, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix well. Cool the marinade completely before using. This can be made up to two days in advance.
Ginger Aioli
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and juice of ginger. Keep it in a fridge until later.
Marinate and broil the fish
- Place the fish in a plastic bag or container, add the citrus-miso marinade. Coat the fish well with marinade and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- After 4 hours, remove the fish from the fridge and rinse the marinade off the fish and pat them dry with paper towels. Just a quick rinse is all you need here.
- Preheat the broiler. On a baking sheet, place lightly greased baking sheet or foil and place the fish. Broil the fish few minutes on each side until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Plate the fish in an individual serving plate. Top the fish with ginger aioli, chopped chives and wedge of lemon. Serve immediately.
