Sweet Japanese marinade combined with the buttery fish called butterfish. The flavor has an amazing buttery taste combined with a sweet taste and a hint of Japanese rice wine. Goes well with white rice and asparagus, pan-fried in olive oil with a squeeze of lemon.

Ingredients

1 cup miso (soybean paste)
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
6 (6 ounce) fillets butterfish (black cod)

Directions

Combine miso, sugar, sake, and mirin in a large glass or ceramic bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add fish fillets and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours minimum.
Remove fillets from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fillets to the hot skillet in batches; cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes per side.

Cook's Notes:

I like to use miso that does not contain MSG, and a good nonstick pan, preferably Anolon(R) cookware, for true gourmet cooking.

Drink sake while preparing and eating. Don't drive drunk. Stay home. Bottoms up!
