Excellent marinade! Marinated fish for about an hour in the fridge. Used prepared wasabi, decreased ginger, added minced garlic, and accidentally added too much sesame oil. I had to cook the fillets longer than recommended to get the internal temp high enough & was worried the thin portions of the fillet would be way overcooked, but the whole thing came out a nice texture and moist. When cooked, the marinade turned into more of a glaze than a sauce (not what I expected!).

I made this for 2 of us with the full recipe of marinade. It is not only quick and easy it is very good!! I may let it marinate longer next time.

Good recipe. I let it marinate for a couple of hours, and it could have used more wasabi. Definitely delicious though!

Loved the ease of preparation and flavor of prepared dish. Will definitely cut back or omit the salt the next time. My wasabi powder must have lost its punch because we could not detect any flavor or heat from the amount suggested.

Outstanding flavor without being overpowering. I modified this recipe by cooking on the BBQ in foil, drizzling the fish with leftover sauce every 5 minutes for 15 minutes. Served with sticky rice. I will most certainly prepare this dish again!

Off the hook good!!!! Moist, flavorful and deliscious. Not overpowering, pairs very well with pretty much everything.
