Method
1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion till fragrant. Add in the bell pepper, beans and carrots followed by the light chicken stock. Allow to simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and divide into four serving plates. Set aside and keep warm. 2. To make the miso butter sauce, combine soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sugar and miso in a saucepan. Mix well and add lemon zest and vinegar. Bring the sauce to a boil and thin out with one or two tablespoons of water, if necessary. Set aside. 3. Season sea bass fillets with salt and pepper and dust with flour. Pan-fry the fillets, skin side down first until golden brown. Drain excess oil on kitchen towels then place on top of the preportioned vegetables. 4. Reheat the sauce to a light simmer and then remove from heat. Whisk in butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce has fully emulsified. Spoon sauce over the fillets and serve immediately.
