Ingredients
4  (6-8 0z) servings, Chilean Sea Bass
4 cedar cooking planks (soak in water for 2-3 hours)
Thai Marinade
Ingredients
3/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)

pinch of pepper

Directions
In a small mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the Thai Marinade and whisk.  Place fish and marinade in a plastic freezer bag, and remove excess air out before sealing the bag. ( Marinade for a few hours).  Soak the cedar planks for a few hours in cold water before you grill.  Take the planks out of the water and drain.  Place marinated sea bass on the planks and set on hot outdoor grill.  Baste the sea bass occasionally during cooking with the left over marinade, no need to turn the fish.  Cook with the lid down for about 20- 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.  Serve on the cedar plank.
