miso salmon

I love salmon season, big fillets of wild sockeye salmon at Choice's Market for $9 - summer time love! Everybody Loves Sandwiches posted a recipe this week for miso chicken that looked delicious and I wanted to do something along the same lines with salmon. Here's what I came up with, our bbq isn't working so I threw ours under the broiler.

Miso Ginger Salmon and Soba Noodle Salad

Serves 4

Marinade and Salad Dressing
1/4 cup white miso

2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 green onions finely chopped

2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

2 tsp sesame oil
1 large fillet of fresh wild salmon
salt and pepper

Whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, soy, green onions, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Put half of the sauce aside.

Put the salmon onto an aluminum foil covered sheet tray and pour half the marinade over the salmon, marinate for about 15 minutes to half an hour in the fridge.

Turn broiler to high and move a rack right under the element. Drain extra marinade off and broil for 8-10 minutes or until desired doneness.
