Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Marinade
1 cup sake (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup mirin (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup miso (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped ginger
1/2 cup chopped garlic
Satay
2 pieces Chilean sea bass (2 ounces each)
4 jumbo stalks peeled asparagus (4 inches)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced chives

Steps:

Combine marinade ingredients. Reserve 2 tbsp and marinate bass in the rest (covered, in the refrigerator) for 24 hours. Spear each piece of fish on a wooden skewer. Place on foil-lined pan and broil until sauce caramelizes, 3 or 4 minutes. Toss asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a sauté pan (no oil) over high heat, 7 minutes. Add asparagus; sauté all sides. Arrange asparagus on a plate. Top with bass, drizzle with reserved marinade, garnish with chives. (To evaporate alcohol, increase sake and mirin to 1 1/4 cups each. Simmer until mixture is reduced by half and is syrupy.)
