Miso Salmon with Lime-Ginger Glaze

A heart-healthy salmon recipe with a citrus and herb kick.

Grilled salmon

I love to create healthy recipes that taste delicious. In putting together my book, One Bite at a Time, the miso salmon with lime-ginger glaze and the jicama (pronounced jee-ka-mah) salad were two of my favorite recipes. They go so great together!

The flavors in the salmon dish compliment one another: the touch of sesame oil provides fat (unsaturated, the good kind), the lime contributes the acid that unlocks the salmon’s flavor, the miso gives a hint of salt and the mirin (a Japanese sweet rice wine) adds a gentle flavor.

I think you’ll enjoy this tasty meal!

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. white miso 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
¼ c. mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine) 4 (4 oz.) wild salmon filets, pin bones removed

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Whisk together miso, lime juice, mirin, ginger and sesame oil in a bowl.

3. Put salmon in a baking dish, pour half the marinade over salmon and turn to coat well. Reserve remaining marinade.

4. Marinate salmon in fridge for at least 1 hour.

5. Place salmon in a baking dish with its marinade and ¼ cup of water. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or a few minutes longer if fillets are thick.

6. In a saucepan, heat reserved marinade over medium heat until it starts bubbling.

7. When salmon is cooked, pour marinade over fillets and serve immediately.

You can grill this dish too, but use caution: The marinade can burn easily if grill is too hot. Before grilling, wipe marinade off salmon, rub the salmon with a teaspoon of sesame oil and wipe grill with sesame oil. Grill salmon over slow heat for about 4 minutes each side. Serve with Jicama Salad.
