Sweet-savoury grilled salmon — Japan.
plus marinating
Equipment: Grill; foil-lined tray
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Spring onion (scallion), to serve
- Stir-fried greens, to serve
Method
- Mix the miso, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil into a paste. Spread over the salmon and leave for 15 minutes (or overnight, covered, in the fridge).
- Heat the grill to medium-high and line a tray with foil.
- Grill the salmon for 8–10 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling and caramelised at the edges and the fish just flakes — watch closely; miso catches quickly.
- Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onion.
- Serve with stir-fried greens. No added salt — the miso and soy season it fully.
Swaps and tips
Miso has a little natural sweetness, so you don’t need added sugar. Watch it under the grill so the glaze doesn’t catch. Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free.
