Miso Marinated Salmon

I am not quite sure how this meal came to be. I think we had a bunch of random ingredients and desire to make some thing Japanese. The end result was a broiled fillet of miso marinated salmon, a radish salad made with radishes and their greens, sautéed sesame green beans and a bowl of cold somen noodles with a dipping sauce. All of it was very unplanned, but very delicious. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you pull together randomly. There ended up being way too much food, but it made for good leftovers.

The radish salad had a simple vinaigrette on it and the dipping sauce for the noodles was soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame oil and a little mirin.

The original marinade recipe was for 6 fillets. Using my hand dandy conversion chart I was able to easily scale it down for 2 fillets.

Miso Marinated Broiled Salmon

Based on a recipe from: Bon Appetit

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onions
  • 3/4 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 6-ounce Alaskan salmon fillets, with skin

Directions:

  1. Whisk first 6 ingredients to blend for marinade. Make 2 or 3 slashes in the salmon skin. In a large zip-lock bag combine the salmon fillets and marinade and turn to coat. Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Give it a good shake every now and then.
  2. Preheat broiler. Line heavy large baking sheet with foil; spray with nonstick spray. Remove salmon fillets from miso marinade; using rubber spatula, scrape off excess marinade. Arrange salmon, skin side up, on prepared baking sheet. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat source until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Using metal spatula, turn salmon over. Broil until salmon is just cooked through and golden brown on top, about 4 minutes.
  3. Transfer salmon to plates, skin side down. Serve immediately.
