Miso Butter Grilled Fresh Catch Bass Fillet Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the Miso and melted butter together until the Miso is well incorporated.
• Place the bass fillets on a hot grill and brush with the butter miso mixture turning and brushing until cooked and flaky

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper, and sea salt. Sprinkle seasonings onto the fish.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the garlic and parsley. Remove from heat when the butter has melted, and set aside.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Grill fish for 7 minutes, then turn and drizzle with butter. Continue cooking for 7 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk water and mustard in small bowl until smooth. Combine miso, vinegar, mirin, sugar and soy sauce in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard mixture. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish and green onions with oil. Sprinkle both with salt and pepper. Grill fish until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Grill onions until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish and onions to 4 plates. Spread sauce atop fish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over sauce and serve.

• **Mirin is available at Japanese markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

Steps:

• Whisk together the sake, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, and miso paste in a bowl to make the marinade. Place the sea bass in a large sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the sea bass. Chill in refrigerator 3 to 6 hours. Arrange the fillets on a baking sheet. Discard the marinade.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Prop the oven door to remain slightly ajar.
• Bake the sea bass under the broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the fish steaks under cold, running water and drain thoroughly in a colander. Cut the steaks into six pieces and place in a bowl.
• Add the Miso Marinade to the fish steaks and toss lightly to coat the fish steaks. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or for several hours.
• Prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling and place the grill about 3 inches above the coals. Remove the fish from the Miso Marinade, spreading the Marinade with your hands so that there is a light coating. Arrange the fish steaks on the grill and cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque all the way through. Alternatively you may broil the fish about 7-9 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife. The miso glaze should bubble and brown at the edges. Remove and serve with steamed rice and stir-fried or steamed vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat an oven-safe saute pan over medium heat. Season fillets with josher salt on both sides. Turn heat to high and add 3 tablespoons Miso Butter to the preheated pan; when it has melted, place fish on top of the butter, skin-side up, in an even layer. Move the fish around in the butter as it starts to bubble and the miso begins to caramelize, 2 minutes. Place pan in the oven to finish cooking fish, about 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness. Meanwhile, make the Herb Salad. (Note: If using a convection oven, place skillet on the middle rack. If using a conventional oven, place skillet on lower rack.)
• In a small saucepan over high heat, bring sake and mirin to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Once boiling, add sugar, stir, and continue boiling until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is translucent. Turn off heat and stir in miso.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add butter. Whisk at medium speed until butter is fluffy and pale yellow, 1 minute. Continuing on medium speed, slowly add the miso mixture in a steady stream to combine. Turn off motor, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and continue mixing again, just until incorporated. Pour Miso Butter into a bowl and set aside. Makes about 2 cups. (Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.)
• In a bowl, combine Thai basil, mint, chervil, dill, and celery leaves (or a fresh herb combination of your choosing). Set aside.
• Remove fish from oven: it's fully cooked when opaque throughout, and should flake when touched. The Miso Butter will be brown and caramelized in the pan. Flip the fish onto a serving plate, skin-side up, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Pan sauce: To the caramelized butter in the hot pan, add 1 tablespoon of fresh Miso Butter and stir to combine. Spoon pan sauce over the fish. Add ponzu to the Herb Salad, toss, and serve with the fish.

Steps:

• Cream the butter and miso together with a fork, adding black pepper if you like.
• Use immediately, or roll into a log in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for cutting into slices later.

Steps:

• Mash together butter and miso in a bowl until smooth and combined. Miso butter can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 weeks before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
• Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
• Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
• Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the butter, miso, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with ½ tablespoon sunflower oil. Toss to coat.
• Roast the potatoes until tender, 10-12 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, sear the sea bass. Pat each fillet dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is nearly smoking, add the sea bass, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, leaving the oven on. Move the potatoes to a quarter of the pan. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the other quarter and spread the bok choy on the empty half. Brush the miso butter over each fish fillet, then flip and brush more on the skin side. Drizzle the remaining ½ tablespoon sunflower oil over the bok choy and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the fish is completely opaque and just cooked through, 8-10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
• Divide the fish, potatoes, and bok choy between 2 plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
