Miso Honey Tilapia and Broccoli

 

Miso is a punch of flavor to any protein or vegetable! 

Made from fermented soy, miso contains plenty of friendly bacteria for our intestines which is supreme for digestion (Who wants a bloated belly all night? Not me). Fermented soy does not impact thyroid function because the fermentation process inactivates goitrogens present in soybeans.

Miso Marinade*:
1/3 cup miso (brown or white)
1/4 c rice vinegar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey
(can be doubled, tripled, whatever to make as much as needed)

1. Mix this with a spoon until smooth.
2. Set some aside for veggies.
3. Pour the rest of the marinade over fish filets and marinate for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile saute veggies (e.g. broccoli, asparagus, onions, carrots, squash, zucchini) until soft.
5. Pour reserved miso mix over veggies and continue to saute until the veggies are glazed.
6. Sear the fish in a pan with a small amount of oil until opaque and flaky.
7. Serve with rice.

*The secret to asian cooking is balance. Miso and soy sauce are salty, rice vinegar is sharp, and honey is sweet. Taste the marinade as you go to make sure one flavor does not overpower the rest. Trust your instincts!
