The recipe I saw in a fish cookbook used so much sauce.. so I decided to try to reduce it a bit.
Also, I changed the soy sauce to usukuchi soy sauce so that the fish wouldn't be so dark after it's cooked.
It's great as a drinking snack!

Any kind of white fish would work great! ^
This time, I tried it out with isaki (grunt) and rudder fish, and both were good!
It's even great cold, so it's probably good in a bento! Recipe by Tatakaukokkusan

Steps

1

Remove the scales and innards and wash with water.
2

Pat the fish very well to dry with a paper towel!
3

Filet the fish. ＾＾
4

I cut off the head, so you can also cut it into 3 slices! This time, I thought I would make half of it in shioyaki style, so I decided to keep the head on.
5

Debone the backbone with a fish bone extractor.
6

If you remove the skin and slice it, it will become sashimi! The right side of the picture is rudder fish and the left side is white grunt sashimi.
7

Cut into large pieces. ^
8

Marinade in a sauce made up of 2 parts mirin to 1 part usukuchi (light-colored) soy sauce. I'm cheap so I didn't use a lot of sauce. If you are like me and don't have a lot of sauce for the fish to marinate in, flip the pieces over halfway through.
9

Coat with white sesame seeds.
10

Grill the fish. I used a bistro-style fish grill. I baked it for about 12 minutes. If using a built-in fish grill or similar, please be sure not to let it burn.
11

Ah, it burned a bit! Well...please be careful!

Mejina (rudder fish), which I used in the main photo, is also delicious!
