Ingredients That Will Make You Say ‘YUM’
Here’s what you’ll need to make this fishy delight:
- 4 pieces of butterfish (or any other fish you fancy!)
- 1/2 cup of miso paste (the magical flavor booster)
- 1/4 cup of sake (not just for sushi anymore)
- 1/4 cup of mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine for that sweet touch)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (the secret to happiness)
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (like liquid gold)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (because we like to be fancy)
Instructions to Get This Fish on Your Plate
Now that you’re stocked up on ingredients, let’s get down to business!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, sake, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth—this is your marinade.
- Place your butterfish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure each piece is lovingly coated. Cover it and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Pro tip: while you wait, dance around your kitchen like no one’s watching.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is where the magic happens!
- Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and fragrant. Mmm, the aroma will be heavenly!
- Once out of the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes (if you can resist!). Serve with rice and garnish with those vibrant green onions.
