Total time: 40 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
Salmon pairs with classic Asian flavours in this satisfying dinner that’s easy for weeknights and special enough for company. You’ll need to marinate the fish for at least 20 minutes, but the prep and cook times are short and sweet. Miso, a thick, fermented paste usually made from soybeans and grains, is a Japanese staple. We’ve called for white miso in this dish, which is slightly sweet and milder than other miso varieties. It still lends this dish a savory flavor while still letting the fish shine. When the salmon flakes when tested with a fork, it’s done. If you have a choice between purchasing wild salmon and farm raised salmon, opt for wild: It’s lower in fat than farmed salmon.
