  • 2 tablespoons white miso (fermented soybean paste; not sweet or labeled "saikyo")
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon water
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 (5- to 6-oz) sea bass fillets with skin (1 inch thick)
  • Garnish:

    lemon wedges
  • Preheat broiler. Lightly oil a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan.
  • Whisk together miso, sugar, lemon juice, water, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Toss together asparagus, oil, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
  • Arrange fish, skin sides down, in baking pan and spread miso mixture evenly on top. Arrange asparagus in 1 layer around fish and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until fish is just cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes.
