Miso-Glazed Salmon
Miso-Glazed Salmon is Japanese home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 4 baby bok choy
- 3 scallions
- 4 cups cooked white rice
How to cook it
- Heat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Whisk the miso, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil into a glaze.
- Set the salmon on the sheet and brush thickly with the glaze.
- Roast until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze caramelizes, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile steam the bok choy until tender, about 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds and scallions and serve over rice with the bok choy.
