Recipes: Miso-ginger marinated salmon

The miso-ginger marinated salmon caught my eye. It looks delicious and super easy. My choice may have been influenced by the fact that today I read an article about the benefits of omega 3 (it may be linked to greater brain volume in senior people) and I thought of how little fish I eat on a regular basis. I will try to pull off a similar recipe and share if it tastes any good. If you do try this one, please share your comments!

Ingredients

yield: 4 servings, active time 20 minutes, total time 50 minutes

• 1/4 cup white miso
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions
• 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 4 salmon fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Procedures

1. 1
   In a small bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients until smooth. In a small baking dish, cover the salmon fillets with the marinade and turn a few times to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
2. 2
   Remove the fillets from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill (or broiler). If using a grill, grill the salmon skin-side down until the skin is golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes, then turn over and grill an additional 3-4 minutes. If using a broiler, broil skin-side down without flipping, until the salmon is cooked through and well-caramelized on the top, 4-5 minutes. Serve with rice.
