09 Feb Miso Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of white miso
1 tablespoon white sugar
Splash of mirin to loosen
750-1kg fillet of sustainably fished ocean trout or salmon
Method:
Preheat oven to 200C fan forced (220C if there is no fan)
Mix miso & sugar together to a loose paste (think hummus consistency). A splash of mirin will loosen the paste.
Lay fish on a tray lined with baking paper. Spread the paste over the top of fish to about 0.5cm thickness (it doesn’t have to be uniform). Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes. Check at 7 minutes and monitor. If the miso glaze doesn’t caramelize, a quick blitz under the grill will do it (but make it super quick and make sure fish is undercooked to start). Garnish with bean shoots and coriander with a splash of olive oil
Serve with double fried smashed potatoes.
“Pair with Arneis, it cuts through the texture of the salmon while creating a delicious mineral base for the teriyaki flavours.” – Meg Brodtmann MW
