PREPARATION

• Prepare The Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil until smooth.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for the preparation of Grilled Salmon With Savoury Miso And Soy Glaze:

• Marination Time: Allowing the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes enhances the depth of flavour.
• Prevent Sticking: Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent the salmon from sticking.
• Basting Tip: Brush on extra glaze during the last minute of grilling for a more caramelised coating.
• Internal Temperature: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 63 degrees Celsius for perfectly cooked salmon.
• Serving Suggestion: Pair with steamed rice, sautéed greens or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.

VARIATIONS

• Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat
• Citrus Twist: Mix in a teaspoon of lime juice or orange zest for a fresh and citrusy flavour.
• Honey-Free Alternative: Replace honey with maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener for a low-sugar version.
• Oven-Baked Version: If grilling isn’t an option, bake the salmon at 190 degrees Celsius for 12 to 15 minutes.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: Freeze raw marinated salmon for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before grilling.
• Reheating: Warm in a pan over low heat or in the oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 5 to 7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent overcooking.
