White miso is made from soybeans fermented with rice and has a sweeter taste compared to other miso pastes. Packed with probiotics, it adds a tasty flavour to sesame and ginger crusted salmon.

Ingredients

Miso paste

1 tbs, white variety

Fresh ginger

1½ tsp, grated

Sake or Japanese rice wine

1 tbs

Skinless salmon

480 g, (4x120g fillets)

Sesame seeds

2 tbs

Lebanese cucumber

2 medium, cut into thin ribbons

Red radish

8 large, (1 bunch), thinly sliced

Sesame oil

2 tsp

Mirin seasoning

1 tbs

Rice wine vinegar

2 tbs

Fresh coriander

¼ cup(s)

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Cooked black rice

1½ cup(s), (255g)

Instructions

  1. Combine miso paste, 1 tsp of ginger and sake in a small bowl. Place salmon on a plate and sesame seeds on another plate. Spread miso mixture on top of salmon. Dip miso side of salmon into sesame seeds to coat.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil. Cook salmon, sesame-seed side down first, for 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking, and sesame seeds are golden brown.
  3. Combine cucumber, radish, sesame oil, mirin, vinegar and remaining ginger in a large bowl. Gently toss to combine. Divide among serving plates. Top with salmon and coriander. Serve with rice.

Notes
