This flavorful dish features tender yellowtail fillets pan-seared to golden perfection and coated in a glossy miso teriyaki glaze. Lightly dusting the fish with flour before cooking ensures a soft, fluffy texture and a perfect glaze. The rich miso glaze makes it an irresistible main course that pairs perfectly with steamed white rice.

Tips & Notes
・Garnish with white sesame seeds or shiso leaves, if desired.
・A 20 cm (8-inch) frying pan was used in this recipe.
・Sprinkle the fish with salt and rub with sake before cooking to remove any fishy odor. The alcohol evaporates during cooking, taking the smell with it.
