Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Place the butterfish fillets in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the cooked fish. Serve hot with a side of steamed rice or vegetables.
