Japanese Fusion Miso Fish

This recipe was created by chef Bill Granger and comes from his book ‘Feed Me Now!’. It’s a very tasty and healthy dish overall, except for its high sodium/salt content due to the amount of miso paste the original recipe uses. I have reduced this so that the sodium is within the healthy range without losing the Japanese Fusion spin.

Serves 2 | Cooking time ~25 mins

Ingredients

• 2 x 200g pieces firm white fish fillet (I used barramundi fillet)

Method

1. Place the fish on a lightly oiled baking tray. Preheat the oven to 200’C

2. Stir the miso paste, sugar, lemon juice and olive oil together in a bowl to combine

3. Brush the fish with the miso mixture on one side

4. Put the fish fillet in the oven for 10-11 minutes or until the fish is about cooked through
