Miso Crusted Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Poach fish just until cooked on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a broiler pan.
• In a small bowl, stir together the miso paste, sake, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, water, salad dressing and rice vinegar. Spread this over the tops of the salmon fillets.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until almost cooked through. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.

Steps:

• Bring rice, a pinch of salt and 2½ cups cold water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until water evaporates and rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes.
• Whisk sugar, ¼ cup vinegar, and 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir into rice; re-cover. Let sit until ready to use.
• Whisk maple syrup, miso, tamari, ½ tsp. red pepper flakes, and remaining ¼ cup vinegar in a small bowl. Set glaze aside.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Season salmon with salt; cook, skin side down, shaking pan occasionally, until skin is very crisp and deep golden brown, 7-9 minutes. Turn over and cook just until flesh is very lightly browned ( it should be nearly cooked through), about 2 minutes. Using a spatula to hold back fish, pour off fat from skillet.
• Reduce heat to low and add reserved glaze to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Baste salmon with glaze and cook, basting occasionally, until glaze evenly coats fish, about 1 minute.
• Divide rice among plates and top with salmon. Drizzle with any leftover glaze over; sprinkle with scallions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Serve with lime wedges if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, miso, tahini, vinegar, and mirin.
• Spread miso mixture evenly over surface of salmon. bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Place the miso, tahini, sugar, and water in a saucepan and stir over low heat for 2 minutes or until thickened. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium to high heat. Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until crisp. Brush the salmon with miso sauce, turn, and cook for 1 minute.
• For the fennel salad, combine the fennel, cucumber, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and coriander leaves. To serve, place the fennel salad on plates and top with the salmon. Serve with the remaining miso sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk together the miso, mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place the salmon in a baking dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Heat grill to high. Remove the fish from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin side down, with the cover closed, until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon over and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness. Drizzle with a little yuzu juice, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend well. Season orange-miso sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Line large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon and vegetable oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place sesame seeds on small plate. Coat 1 surface of each salmon piece with sesame seeds. Arrange salmon, sesame-coated side up, in single layer on prepared baking sheet. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake salmon uncovered until just cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to platter. Skewer each piece with toothpick. Serve warm, passing orange-miso sauce.

Steps:

• In shallow dish, combine miso, rice vinegar, sake, light brown sugar, sugar, soy sauce and ginger to create marinade. Place salmon skin up into dish and marinade for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Remove salmon and shake off excess marinade. Place fish meat up on baking dish or roasting pan lined with aluminum foil and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Toast bread crumbs in non-stick pan for about 2 minutes till golden brown and then sprinkle on top of salmon about 2 minutes before fish is done. In small saucepan, warm the leftover marinade into a condensed sauce and drizzle on or around your salmon.

Steps:

• Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
• Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
• Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
• Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

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.
