Miso Salmon
This Miso Salmon recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of miso, a traditional Japanese ingredient, with salmon creates a dish that is rich and delightful. Plus, it comes together in no time at all!
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and grated ginger until smooth. This will be your marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- If grilling, place the marinated salmon directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Once cooked, garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
This Miso Salmon dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables, making for a super healthy and enticing meal. Enjoy this recipe, and happy cooking!
