Miso Marinated Fish

MISO MARINATED FISH

Deeply Marinated With Miso

  • The dual marinade process—first letting the fish sit with salt, then letting it sit for two days with miso marinade—results in a fish that is deeply marinated and has none of the more pungent fishy flavors. Instead, it is left with the naturally rich and flavorful elements of fish and a perfect miso finish..

Ingredients

  • 17.64 oz. (500 g) Marukome Miso
  • 1.8 oz. (50 g) sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (50 cc) nikiri sake (sake heated to burn off alcohol)
  • 3 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (50 cc) mirin
  • 3 lb. (1.4 kg) sliced fish fillets, such as salmon or black cod
  • sea salt

Glaze:

  • mirin
  • Light-colored (Usukuchi) soy sauce
  • Light-colored (Usukuchi) soy sauce

Directions

  • 01 Sprinkle salt over each fish fillet and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours (this technique draws out excess water and gets rid of some of the fishiness).
  • 02 Spread half the mixture in a container. Lay 2 cheese cloths on top (to make a double layer of cloth). Place fish fillets on cloth and lay 2 remaining cheese cloths over fish. Spread remaining mixture on cloth.
  • 03 The cheese cloth makes it very convenient for removing all excess marinade mixture from the fish. This prevents fish burning from the heat while cooking./p> Marukome provides this recipe “as is,” developed for Institutional use, with industry standard measurements and ingredients.
