Miso Broiled Sea Bass
½ Bottle of Chef Tai’s Sweet & Savory Miso Sauce
4 skinless chilean sea bass filets, about 1 1/2 inches thick at 6 oz portion each
2 tbsp Vegetable oil, for baking
4 tbsp Citrus Miso Sauce
Pour the Sauce in a medium sized baking dish. Add the fish and turn to coat all over the filets. Cover the marinated fish with food film directly over the fish to create an air tight contact between sauce and fish. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate overnight or 6 hours at minimum. This process will draw out excess moisture out of the fish to deepen the flavor in conjunction with the flavor profile of this savory miso sauce.
Preheat the convection oven to 350 degrees F. Grab a small pizza pan or baking pan and oil it. Scrape off excess marinade off the fish filet. Place the fish over the oiled pan and place it into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until flaky. Switch over the oven into Low Broil Mode and caramelize the top of the fish until it has nice browning on the surface. Immediately transfer to plates and serve with citrus miso sauce.
