½ cup sake
2 tablespoons peeled fresh ginger

2 4-ounce skinless Chilean sea bass fillets
1 cup sweet peas, divided

Directions
In a blender, combine the miso paste, sake, ginger and soy sauce to make a marinade.

Rinse out the blender and add  up of sweet peas,  up olive oil,  up cold water and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until the mixture is a smooth puree. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade and add to the pan. Sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low and sauté fish for about 3 minutes more on each side. Remove fish from the pan and let rest.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms until tender, about 2 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mushrooms from the pan. Pour the sweet pea puree into the same pan and reduce. Add the remaining  f cup of sweet peas and cook for about 5 minutes.

Divide the sweet pea puree among two dinner plates, top with mushrooms and layer the cooked fish on top.
