Ingredients:

  • 1.5 tbsps unsalted butter

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

    • How to make this at home:

      • Ingredients:

        • 1/4 cup soy sauce, mirin, and sake

        • 1 tbsp white miso (can use red if that’s all you have)

        • 1 tbsp sugar

      • Instructions:

        • Bring the wet ingredients and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, then add in miso paste

        • Turn heat down to simmer and whisk paste into the sauce until thoroughly mixed in and emulsified

        • You’ll know when it’s done when the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon

  • Handful of shimeji mushrooms + 1 diced garlic clove

  • Handful of choy sum

Instructions:

  • Clean fish and pat dry

  • Melt butter in a bowl, then mix in sesame seeds, seaweed, garlic, ginger, and pinch of salt.

  • Pop butter in the fridge for about 5 mins to let it firm up.

  • In the meantime, cut up the fish into portion size pieces and saute mushrooms till golden brown with a bit of garlic.

  • Once the butter is hardened, place fish onto a baking tray with a light coat of oil.

  • Use a spoon to scrape a thin layer of the butter and place that on top of the fish.

  • Bake fish at 400F for 8 mins. In the meantime, boil the choy sum in heavily salted water for 3 mins, then rinse in cold water to halt cooking process.

    • Boiling the veggies in salted water helps preserve their color but won’t add additional sodium to your meal, since we rinse them.

  • By now, your fish should be ready for the glaze. Add a light layer of the Omsom misoyaki glaze (or your own) then broil for 2-3 more mins until bubbling.
