Blue Ginger Butter Fish in Sake-Miso Glaze

By directive of the VC guy, here is a great, easy dish (to help you lose the post-holiday weight). This is favorite at Blue Ginger Restaurant and is absolutely delicious. I think it's better grilled than broiled, but either way, it's delicious. This recipe serves four.


Ingredients

1 cup light miso
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup sake
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
1/2 canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
12-16 oz black cod (about 3-4 oz per person) (butterfish is very difficult to get and black cod, I have been told, is basically the same thing....Sea Bass also works well)

Preparation

Combine miso, mirin, sake, ginger, oil and sugar
Stir until mixture is blended smooth and well mixed
Add fish and coat. Cover with seran wrap or in zip-loc bag and marinate overnight refrigerated.

Bring to room temperature and grill or broil fish turning once about 10-12 minutes

Plate the fish with a seaweed salad and finish with some reduced sweet soy sauce, wasabi aoli, and pickled ginger.
