Miso Glazed Salmon with Asparagus

Ingredients

• 4 6oz Salmon fillets
• 2 tbsp White miso paste
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 1 tbsp Sake
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• about 450 g Asparagus
• 1 tsp Sesame oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce until smooth. This is your miso glaze.
3. 3Place the 4 6oz salmon fillets onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
4. 4Use a brush to evenly coat the top of each of the 4 salmon fillets with the miso glaze.
5. 5In a separate bowl, toss the about 450 g of asparagus with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until the asparagus is lightly coated.
6. 6Arrange the about 450 g of asparagus on the same baking sheet around the 4 salmon fillets.
7. 7Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C, and the asparagus should be tender-crisp.
8. 8Serve the miso glazed salmon and asparagus immediately.
