Marinated salmon in miso and sake (Misoyaki salmon)

2 servings

25 minutes

Miso and sake marinated salmon is a refined dish of Japanese cuisine, combining the rich umami flavor of miso paste with subtle hints of mirin sweetness and deep notes of sake. This cooking method allows the fish to absorb all the marinade's aromas, becoming incredibly tender and juicy. After baking and lightly browning on the grill, the salmon develops an appetizing caramelized crust that pairs beautifully with its soft texture inside. The dish can be served with rice, fresh vegetables, or light pickled sides for a harmonious and balanced taste.
