Grilled Miso Fish

….I prepare the fish by marinating it in sweet miso for at least 2–3 days until the sweet & salty flavor is completely absorbed before it is cooked. The choice of miso was an important point, so I chose white miso. The white miso and sweetness of mirin work wonderfully to balance out the fish’s fattiness. When it’s grilled to perfection, the deep flavor of the marinade comes through and the buttery flesh simply melts in your mouth. It’s so good that my husband can easily finish two fillets of the fish on his own. We always couldn’t eat enough when we ordered at a restaurant, because we are fish maniacs. Also I used white miso to add maple syrup for sweetness. I cooked this recipe with cod, as it’s known for its silky and tender rich texture and flavor. The creamy white flesh pairs extremely well with miso paste that is sweet, savory, and salty.
