Miso Marinade for Fish

1/2 cup miso (light, dark, whatever you got)
6 tbl water
1/4 cup mirin or sweet sherry
4-6 fish steaks, about 3/4" thick, 5-6 oz/steak (I used halibut)
1 tbl toasted sesame seeds
freshly ground black pepper

Makes 4-6 servings.

1. Combine miso, water and mirin in a small saucepan. Heat over
a moderate-low flame for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to
dissolve the miso.

2. Pour into a baking dish big enough to hold all the fish
steaks in one layer. Pat the fish steaks dry. Place in baking
dish. Let sit for 15 minutes. Turn over and marinate for at
least 6 hours in the refrigerator. You can marinate it overnight
if you want. Turn once or twice.

3. Stoke up the grill or broiler. Remove fish from marinade.
Grill steaks for 3 minutes per side, about. Place on serving
platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper. Serve.

Note: Mirin is sweet rice wine. Look for it in the supermarket
with other Asian ingredients or at an Asian market.
