Ingredients

• ✓ butterfish
• white miso
• sugar
• sake
• mirin
• white wine vinegar
• white wine
• shallot
• bay leaf
• black peppercorn
• heavy cream
• butter
• lemon
• parsley
• soy sauce
• sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Make marinade: Whisk together miso, sugar, sake, and mirin in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade has reduced, about 45 minutes. Transfer marinade to a shallow dish and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place butterfish in marinade and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Make beurre blanc: Combine vinegar, wine, shallot, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until only about 1 tablespoon liquid remain, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until mixture is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk in butter pieces, one at a time, until beurre blanc is smooth and thickened. Strain beurre blanc through a mesh strainer to remove spices.
3. 3 Make lemon sauce: Stir lemon juice into beurre blanc until lemon sauce is evenly mixed; fold in parsley.
4. 4 Make sweet soy sauce: Combine soy sauce and sugar in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture has reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. 5 Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove butterfish from marinade, discarding unused marinade. Cook butterfish in the hot skillet until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer butterfish to a warm plate; drizzle lemon sauce and sweet soy sauce around fish.
