  • Preparation: 1450 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (211 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free, High protein
  • Contains: alcohol, fish, gluten, soy, sulphite

Ingredients

  • 150 g Salmon, raw
  • 35 g Miso
  • 10 g Sugar
  • 8 g Sake
  • 8 g Wine, fortified, sweet

Method

  1. Whisk the miso, sugar, sake and mirin (sweet fortified wine stand-in) together into a smooth marinade.
  2. Pat the fish dry and coat it thoroughly in the marinade, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours (up to 2-3 days develops even more flavour).
  3. Scrape off most of the miso marinade from the fish, as it will burn if left thick, and let any moisture drip off.
  4. Grill or broil the fish for 4-5 minutes per side under medium-high heat, watching closely since the marinade's sugar browns quickly, until cooked through and flaking easily.
  5. Serve hot with steamed rice.
