Miso-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Udon

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar until smooth.

2. 2

   Place 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour half of the miso glaze over them, and let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C); bake the marinated salmon fillets for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky, basting with the remaining glaze halfway through.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces of dried udon noodles according to package directions; drain them well and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, toss the cooked udon noodles with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, ensuring all noodles are lightly coated.

6. 6

   Slice 2 green onions and toast 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

7. 7

   Serve the miso-glazed salmon fillets over the sesame udon noodles, garnished with the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
