Miso Marinated Salmon (Salmon Misozuke)

In contrast to Saikyo Yaki Fish and Nobu’s Miso Marinated Black Cod Recipe, the marinade for Miso Marinated Salmon (Salmon Misozuke) just isn’t very candy. The outstanding miso flavour of the fish makes this dish considerably easy and humble in comparison with Saikyo Yaki dishes. It’s also a extra economical and simple method of constructing miso marinated fish since you should buy regular miso from supermarkets at low value.

The miso utilized in Miso Marinated Salmon is less expensive than Saikyo miso. It’s fairly a tasty dish and never as candy as Saikyo Yaki Fish. It goes extraordinarily nicely with rice.

Initially, Misozuke (味噌漬け, miso-marinated meals) was made by merely placing greens and different components in miso to marinate. However this technique is not utilized in Misozuke due to the excessive salt content material.

As you possibly can see in my recipe right this moment, the trendy instances Misozuke marinade combines miso with sake, mirin, sugar, and so forth., to scale back the saltiness.

I used salmon however you need to use different fish fillets reminiscent of kingfish, snapper, alfonsino, Spanish mackerel, and blue eye cod/blue eye trevalla.

Miso Marinade

• Cooking sake

I made salmon fillets by diagonally slicing a aspect of salmon, which is the Japanese method of slicing fish fillets for marinating. However you don’t need to slice your fillets diagonally, so long as the thickness of the fillets is about 1.5-2cm/⅝-/¾”.

You can also make skinny fillets from a salmon cutlet/steak as proven within the publish Saikyo Yaki Fish. It’s also possible to purchase a large fillet and lower it thinly if you happen to like. However I discover that the salmon fillet is commonly very skinny, leading to a really slender piece of fish fillet to marinate.

As an alternative of brown miso, you need to use white miso if the miso just isn’t labelled as ‘candy miso’. The picture above reveals the marinade made with brown miso (left) and white miso (proper).
