Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, garnish the dish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the miso mixture.
- Marinate the fish for a longer time (up to 1 hour) for a more intense flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Miso-Glazed Saba Fish hot over steamed rice. Drizzle any remaining miso glaze from the baking dish over the fish for an extra burst of flavor.

Arrange the Miso-Glazed Saba Fish fillets on a plate, garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with a side of pickled vegetables for a visually appealing presentation.
