Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass

This Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass tastes like something you would eat at a restaurant but only healthier. Many restaurants cook with so much oil and butter, that’s why I love cooking at home. Knowing what goes into our food is so important. I chose to roast the sea bass in the oven as opposed to sear it in a pan. Both ways will taste good but roasting doesn’t require as much oil. The glaze is so tasty and light. Serve it with seared bok choy and my wasabi mashed potato/cauliflower. Enjoy!
