Notes & Tips

30g of protein per fillet for about 300 calories - this is the kind of dinner that does the macro work for you without tasting like diet food. The miso and honey caramelize under the broiler into a savory-sweet glaze, so you get real flavor off lean fish. Let it marinate the full 30 minutes; that's where the depth comes from. Serve over rice or greens depending on where your carbs need to land that day.
