Our miso marinaded skewers combine fresh white fish fillets with a punchy miso glaze, turning an ordinary fish skewer into something a bit more special. Making your own fish marinade is a really easy way to add extra flavour to simple fish fillets, perfect for a healthy but satisfying weeknight dinner. Miso paste is a fermented soy bean paste that adds a lovely savoury flavour and hit of umami to your dishes. If you haven’t come across Togarashi powder before, it is a Japanese 7 spice seasoning that is found in most supermarkets, and adds a chilli buzz. We’ve served these fish skewers with red cabbage and red chicory, for an effortlessly elegant dish. You could also make these fish skewers at your next barbecue, or serve with flatbreads for a light lunch.
