This is one of my favourite recipes using Shio Koji. The appropriate amount of Shio Koji should be 10% of the weight of the fish you are going to marinate, but you have to make sure that the fish has not been salted.
Ingredients
- Fish filet (cod, snapper, haddock, pangasius, etc)
- Shio Koji: 10% of the weight of fish
How to make
- Apply Shio Koji to fish fillet.
- Leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours or even better for a day.
- Roughly remove the Shio Koji from the fish, and bake it on the grill or sautee it in a frying pan.
You can cook it in the oven or put it on the grill instead.
Food with Shio Koji is very easy to get burnt. I would recommend you stay with the food while cooking. I also recommend using aluminium foil or oven paper to easily clean the frying pan after cooking.
