Chilean Sea Bass
This is an amazing recipe by Ming Tsai. He is one of the most inspiring chefs I have ever met. If you have a chance, visit his Blue Ginger restaurant in Wellesley, MA. Just remember to make a reservation a month in advance!
Sides: Rice and sea weed salad (you can get it in your local Japanese grocery store, or restaurant)
Wine: Chardonnay
Tips: If you have never heard of some of these ingredients, go to your local oriental store and they'll be able to help you.
Serves 4
Ingredients Directions
1 cup light miso
(shiro-miso)
1/2 cup mirin
(sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/2 cup sake
1 Tbsp finely chopped ginger
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
4 5x3" pieces skinless and
boneless Chilean sea bass
The day before serving:
In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine all the ingredients (except for sea bass), and stir to blend. Add the bass, turn to coat, and marinate, covered and refrigerated, overnight.

Prepare an outdoor grill or preheat the broiler. Wipe the marinade from the fish and season it with pepper to taste. Grill or broil the fish 5-6 minutes on each side.

1 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup duck sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
While fish is cooking, make the sauce. Combine oil, duck and teriyaki sauces in a small pan and bring to a boil.

Serve the sea bass over rice and sea weed salad, and sprinkle the sauce on top.
