Unique Miso Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe

Miso Maple Glazed Salmon with Grilled Asparagus

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. This Miso Maple Glazed Salmon with Grilled Asparagus is a delightful combination of savory umami flavors from miso, a touch of sweetness from maple syrup, and the freshness of perfectly grilled asparagus. Let’s dive into this unique and delicious dish!

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (200g each)
• 2 tablespoons miso paste
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• tongs

I start by preheating my grill pan over medium heat. While the pan is heating up, I mix the miso paste and maple syrup in a small bowl to create the glaze for the salmon. Once the pan is hot, I brush the salmon fillets with the miso maple glaze and place them skin side down on the grill pan. I cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the glaze occasionally, until it’s cooked to my desired doneness.

Meanwhile, I toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper. I grill the asparagus on the same grill pan for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and have nice grill marks.

Once the salmon and asparagus are cooked, I plate them together and drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon. The combination of the sweet and savory glaze on the tender salmon, paired with the smoky grilled asparagus, creates a truly delightful eating experience.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some sesame seeds over the finished dish for an extra crunch and nutty flavor that complements the miso glaze beautifully.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy every bite of this flavorful and nutritious meal. Feel free to make it your own by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the glaze or experimenting with different vegetables on the side. Happy cooking!
