Miso fish with daikon salad

We've used snapper here but any white fish is delicious when dressed with traditional Japanese flavours. The result is a fresh, healthy and light meal. Both black and white sesame seeds are used in Japanese cooking; white sesame seeds have a nutty flavour, while black sesame seeds taste more bitter.
