Miso Marinated Halibut Fillets

Here is a very simple way into the realm of Asian cooking. The marinade recipe shown below is an awesome way to give a nice flavour boost to halibut, which is generally low on flavour. The marinade can even be used as a yummy sauce afterwards!

Ingredients

4 Halibut fillets
2 tablespoons Shiro miso paste
1 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is best)
2 tablespoons sesame or canola oil
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chilli powder
2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)

Directions

In a mixing bowl combine miso, orange juice, oil, vinegar, brown sugar and chilli powder and stir with a whisk until completely combined.
Transfer marinade to a sealable storage bag or container, add halibut, seal and marinate for 2-3 hours.
Remove your marinated halibut fillets from the marinade and pour the marinade into a large pot or frying pan that has a lid. Bring to a simmer on medium heat and place the fillets into the simmering liquid. Cover with a lid and poach/steam the halibut until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
Gently remove the halibut from the liquid and serve with some cooked rice or quinoa and your favourite vegetables. The liquid can be boiled and reduced down by 25% and then used as a sauce to finish this awesome dish.
