Miso Glazed Salmon Skewers Recipes

MISO-GLAZED SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place the miso, dashi powder, mirin and sugar in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
• Thread the salmon onto metal skewers and place on 2 large baking sheets lined with aluminium foil. Brush each side of the salmon with the miso marinade. Cook the salmon, in 2 batches, for 4 minutes or until golden and slightly charred. Set aside and keep warm. Place the skewers on a plate with amaranth leaves and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi to serve.

OVEN ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillet or steaks skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Stir together the sauce ingredients and spoon or spread the mixture over the salmon.
• Bake for 11-12 minutes per inch, until the fish flakes with a fork.
• Use a thin spatula to remove the fish from the pan, and try to leave the skin behind on the foil.
• Serve immediately.

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.
