Miso Salmon

Ingredients

Makes 4 to 6 servings

• 2 salmon steaks, about 6 to 8 oz each
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin (sweet cooking seasoning)
• 1/4 cup miso (soy bean paste)
• 1 lime 
• 1/2 lime for drizzling 
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

1. In a bowl, combine the ginger, soy sauce, mirin, miso, lime juice, and sesame oil  together.
2. Place the salmon steaks in the marinade, and coat them evenly. 
3. Cover the salmon and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
4. Heat a flat non-stick skillet with 1 tbsp oil over medium low heat for 1 minute, and fry the salmon undisturbed for 3 minutes before turning. 
5. Both mirin and miso are likely to burn, so wipe the skillet with a paper towel before turning the fish over.
6. Keep the heat medium low to prevent from burning before inside of the fish is properly cooked. 
7. Add 1 tbsp oil to the clean skillet and continue frying the other side of the salmon until golden brown. For faster cooking, cover with a lid over low heat.
8. Drizzle with lime juice before serving.
