Ingredients

• 4 fillets white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or sea bass)
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 200 grams snow peas, trimmed
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half for later use. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the snow peas for 1 minute or until bright green and crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the blanched snow peas, red bell pepper slices, julienned carrot, sesame seeds, and scallions.

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetable mixture with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat and set aside as the salad.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

Step 7

Brush the reserved marinade over the cooked fish for extra flavor.

Step 8

To serve, place a portion of the snow peas salad on each plate and top with the miso-glazed fish fillet. Sprinkle additional sesame seeds and scallions for garnish, if desired.
