At the risk of giving away all my secrets, the idea for the Miso Mayonnaise actually came from the packet of my miso paste. As soon as I saw it, I just had to try it.
I possibly should post a warning with this recipe. The mayo is so good as to be addictive. But at least it’s legal. And relatively inexpensive. There are worse things one could be addicted to.
The other thing I love about this recipe is the ease of popping the veg and fish on one tray. Plus I love roasting at high temperatures because it’s so much quicker and adds an extra element of danger.

Variations & Substitutions Fast Roast Fish with Miso Mayo
no broccolini – replace with 1 large head broccoli or 1/2 cauliflower chopped into bite sized pieces. Or use asparagus, snow peas or green beans (no need to pre-cook these just add at the same time as the fish).
no miso paste – try a sesame mayo instead by stirring 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil into the mayo. Or add 1 tablespoon soy sauce to the mayo.
vegetarian – replace fish with fried eggs (no need to roast) or firm tofu (roast as per the fish). Or use mushrooms instead of the fish and serve with roast cashews / peanuts for extra protein.
more Japanese flavour – serve with a few tablespoons shredded nori (seaweed).
carb-lovers – serve with Japanese noodles or steamed rice.
no oven – steam broccolini and pan fry fish then serve together.
Waste Avoidance Strategy
broccolini – will keep wrapped in a plastic bag in the fridge for about 2 weeks or sometimes a little longer. Can be frozen (if you have time chop before freezing so it will defrost quickly in the pan).
miso paste – unopened paste can be kept in the pantry, once open needs to be refrigerated.
mayonnaise – unopened in pantry or in fridge once opened.
rice or white wine vinegar / sesame seeds – keep them in the pantry.
fish fillets – freeze them.
Prepare Ahead
Better when hot from the oven. But if needed you could roast the fish and broccolini ahead and keep in the fridge for up to a week. To serve warm in the oven or a pan and serve with mayo and sesame seeds.
