Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Miso-Glazed Sea Bass.
Step 1
Start by whisking together the white sugar, dark corn syrup, soy sauce, sake, hoisin sauce, white miso paste, red miso paste, minced ginger, minced garlic, and minced shallot in a bowl. Blend these ingredients until they form a smooth marinade. This mixture is where the magic begins, infusing the sea bass with incredible flavor. Once combined, toss the sea bass fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish, making it deliciously savory.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for roasting the fish to perfection.
Step 3
After marinating, remove the fillets from the marinade, gently scraping off any excess. Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and set it aside for later. In a large, heavy cast iron skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil over high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fillets to the skillet. Sear them for about 1 minute on each side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. This step adds a delightful texture to the dish.
Step 4
Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the sea bass for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The oven will finish cooking the fish while keeping it moist and tender.
Step 5
While the sea bass is baking, take the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will thicken the sauce and intensify the flavors, making it the perfect accompaniment to your fish.
Step 6
When the sea bass is done, serve it hot, drizzled with the rich miso sauce. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables, making for a complete and satisfying meal.
