Easy Miso Salmon Food

EASY MISO SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
• Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, hot water, and miso together in a large glass or ceramic bowl until thoroughly combined. Add salmon and turn several times to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes, occasionally spooning the mixture over the fish to make sure its covered.
• Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Leave extra marinade in the bowl.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Uncover, spoon remaining marinade evenly onto the salmon, and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 more minutes.

EASY MISO SALMON

Steps:

• Let salmon rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the miso glaze: Whisk the miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, Sriracha and kosher salt together in a small bowl until smooth (the miso may have a few lumps depending on its texture, which is okay).
• Preheat the broiler to high. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil skin side down. Brush salmon liberally with the glaze (1 to 2 tablespoons).
• Broil about 4 to 5 minutes for very thin salmon or 7 to 10 minutes for 1-inch thick salmon, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). Brush with more of the glaze and serve.

MISO SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Poach fish just until cooked on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a broiler pan.
• In a small bowl, stir together the miso paste, sake, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, water, salad dressing and rice vinegar. Spread this over the tops of the salmon fillets.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until almost cooked through. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.

MISO-GINGER MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the miso, mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place the salmon in a baking dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Heat grill to high. Remove the fish from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin side down, with the cover closed, until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon over and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness. Drizzle with a little yuzu juice, if desired, and serve.

MISO GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• To make the glaze: In a large bowl combine the miso paste, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
• Preheat grill to medium.
• Brush salmon fillets with the glaze. Grill over medium direct heat and continue brushing with glaze throughout cooking process.

MISO-MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• Stir together the miso, mirin, sugar and sake, if using. Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a medium food bag and cover with the miso marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 mins or, better still, overnight.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Use kitchen paper to wipe off the marinade (don't be tempted to wash it off as you will lose some of the flavour). Place the fillets on the baking tray, skin side down. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, oil and sugar. Toss the cucumber ribbons in the dressing, then curl them up on two plates. Serve with the salmon and some plain white rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

FOILED MISO SALMON

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients.
• Cut salmon into bite-sized pieces.
• In a shallow pan, place the fish and add the marinade. Marinate for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the green onions at an angle. Remove stems from shiitake mushrooms and cut the tops in half.
• In a baking pan, place a sheet of aluminum foil long enough to make a pouch. Place the ingredients on the foil in the following order: green onion on bottom, marinated salmon, and shiitake on top.
• Fold the sides and ends of the aluminum foil to make a pouch; make sure to seal tightly so juices don't flow out.
• Place inside oven 10-20 minutes at 400 degrees F or until done. Sprinkle with hot pepper flakes and serve.

SUMO SALMON MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Dashi is a Japanese fish stock.
• There are several ways to make this.
• You can purchase powder at most grocery stores and reconstitute it following the package directions or you can get the"tea-type" baggies of bonito stock and boil these.
• The teabags have the correct amount of bonito flakes sealed into a little bag.
• I always use the teabag bonito because there is no added MSG.
• You can also make homemade fish stock, but be careful not to add too much salt.
• Vegetable stock would be a fair substitute.
• Bring the dashi to a boil in a large stock pan and add the carrots and potatoes.
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook 10 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are about cooked through.
• Add cabbage to pan.
• Cook for 1-2 minutes or until cabbage is just crisp.
• Put miso (starting with the lesser amount) into a sieve.
• Dip the sieve into the stock and melt the miso into the soup.
• The purpose of the sieve is to make sure there are no big miso chunks in the soup.
• You can also disslove the miso into some hot dashi and slowly add it in.
• Make sure to taste as you add the miso-- too much will make the soup salty.
• Adjust miso to taste.
• In general, one TBS per cup of water is sufficient, but miso can vary greatly in strength and saltiness.
• Add tofu cubes gently.
• Add salmon pieces to top of pan and push carefully into the soup.
• Simmer until the salmon is cooked through.
• When salmon is cooked, portion out the salmon pieces, vegies, and tofu to individual serving bowls.
• If desired, break into the soup an egg for each person and"poach" it.
• Put this on top of each portion.
• Taste the miso soup and adjust miso as necessary.
• Pour the miso soup over the top of the salmon, vegie, tofu, and egg bowls.
• Serve with rice.
