Miso Glazed Salmon with Soba Noodles

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the miso glaze by whisking together 0.25 cup white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl.

2. 2

   Place four 6-ounce salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the prepared miso glaze over them, ensuring each fillet is coated, then marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, then sear the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down, for 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.

5. 5

   Transfer the seared salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cooked through to your desired doneness, brushing with the remaining miso glaze halfway through baking.

6. 6

   While the salmon bakes, cook 8 ounces of soba noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Arrange the cooked soba noodles on serving plates and top with the baked miso glazed salmon fillets.

8. 8

   Garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
