An inspired fusion of traditional Japanese BBQ Yakitori sauce with the buttery and succulent Sea Bass creates a wonderful and savory sweet taste explosion! I hope you like it! For simplicity - the first 4 steps and 8 ingredients can be replaced by commercial Yakitori sauce/marinade available at your local Asian grocery saving time and effort!

    honey
  • 1/4 c
    tamari soy sauce
  • 1/4 c
    soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp
    distilled vinegar
  • 1 clove
    crushed garlic
  • 1 Tbsp
    corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp

How To Make grilled yakitori chilean seabass

  • 1
    Combine first 6 ingredients to make a yakitori marinade. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • 2
    While the marinade is heating, whisk together cornstarch and cold water.
  • 3
    Once marinade comes to a full boil, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and simmer until sauce thickens.
  • 4
    Let marinade cool.
  • 5
    Add mixture to sea bass, toss to coat and marinade for 3 hours.
  • 6
    Grill sea bass for 2 minutes on one side, rotating each piece 90 degrees after 1 minute to create a cross-hatch pattern (turning the fish over after only 2 minutes prevents the filets from falling apart ).
  • 7
    Flip fish over and grill for an additional 12-15mins (depending on thickness) until flesh flakes easily, basting regularly with retained yakitori marinade
  • 8
    Remove from grill and lightly sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions over the fish before serving
