Serves 4
4 filets halibut (6 oz. each) – Mahi Mahi works well also
Sake Marinade:
1 ½ c. sugar
2 c. Miso paste
2 c. Sake
Heat the sake to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the Miso paste. Stir until dissolved. Add the sugar and place the pot over medium heat, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved. Cool. Once cool, place fish filets in marinade for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours.
Remove fish from marinade and drain excess. Sear fish in a hot pan on both sides (approximately 2 minutes per side). Place pan in a 350 degree oven and cook until the fish is medium well, or just cooked in the center. Remove the fish from the pan.
