Miso-Glazed Tuna Kebabs

These miso-glazed tuna kebabs are a sophisticated way to enjoy fresh fish, offering a perfect balance of salty, sweet and savoury flavours. The marinade uses shiro miso and mirin to create a rich glaze that caramelises beautifully over a high heat, while the addition of mayonnaise ensures the tuna remains succulent and tender. This dish is an excellent choice for a light summer dinner or a healthy outdoor barbecue option when you want something more refined than the usual fare.

As a high-protein meal, these skewers are both satisfying and nutritious, especially when paired with a crisp courgette and snow-pea salad. The quick cooking time makes them ideal for busy weeknights, yet the elegant Japanese-inspired flavours are impressive enough for entertaining guests. For the best results, ensure your grill is properly preheated to achieve that signature charred finish without overcooking the delicate fish.

Ingredients for Miso-Glazed Tuna Kebabs

  • 240ml white miso (also called shiro miso)

  • 120ml mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

  • 120ml sugar

  • 60ml water

  • 120ml mayonnaise

How to make Miso-Glazed Tuna Kebabs

Heat miso, mirin, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in mayonnaise, then cool to room temperature.

Put tuna in a sealable bag (or nonreactive shallow dish). Pour marinade over tuna and marinate, chilled, at least 1 hour.

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas).

Thread tuna onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. Put on a tray.

Generously oil grill rack, then grill skewers, turning once, until just pink in centre, about 4 minutes total. Let stand 5 minutes.
