‘Kyoto’ is sometimes referred to as ‘Saikyo’ (西京), the western city, as opposed to the eastern city, ‘Tokyo’ (東京). ‘Saikyo Miso’ is pale coloured Miso that is originated Kyoto, and it is less salty and sweeter. Grilled Fish that is marinated in ‘Saikyo Miso’ is called ‘Saikyo Yaki’ (西京焼き), and it is not the famous restaurant’s invention. ‘Saikyo Miso’ is impossible to find for me, so I use White Miso. Today I cooked Cod, however, I strongly prefer oilier fish such as Salmon and Spanish Mackerel.

    Remove the Marinade as the Miso Marinade is easy to burn. Grill the Cod Fillets until cooked through and nicely browned. Cooking time varies depending on the size of the fillets and cooking methods. I used Toaster Oven. You can use Griller, Fish Griller OR Frying Pan.
