Instructions
The Miso-Teriyaki Marinade:
- Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until nearly heated through, about 1 minute.
- Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cold water together in a cup; stir until dissolved. Add to the saucepan. Cook and stir sauce until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat refrigerate until cold; then add the white miso paste, whisking until smooth.
- Add the cooled miso-teriyaki marinade to a closable plastic bag, place the the sablefish fillets inside. Close the bag and marinate for 2 hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
Broil the Fish:
- Preheat the oven to broil setting and move the oven shelf to 6-inches below the heat unit. Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing the marinade to drip off, place the fillets on a rack set over a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the oven and broil for 6-8 minutes, depending on thickness of fish or until the fish begins to become flaky and is nicely caramelized.
- Serve topped with the garnishes of sliced scallion tops, sesame seeds and pickled ginger.
Notes
- Look for the miso paste in the refrigerated Asian section.
- Chill the sauce before adding the fish fillets to marinate.
- For a quick shortcut you can use your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce.
