Ingredients

Salmon & Glaze

  • 15 ml Peanut Oil
  • 5 fillets Salmon Skin on or off
  • 120 g White Miso Paste
  • 80 ml Mirin
  • 60 ml Soy Sauce
  • 15 g Ginger Paste
  • 20 g Brown Sugar
  • White Pepper

Stir-Fried Vegetables

  • 15 ml Peanut Oil
  • 2 heads Broccoli Trimmed
  • 350 g Green Beans Trimmed
  • 2 Carrots Sliced
  • 10 ml Sesame Oil
  • 1.5 g Sesame Seeds
  • Salt & Pepper To Taste

Method

  • Combine the marinade ingredients, except the salmon, in a mixing bowl and whisk. Add the salmon and gently rub all over until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat, add the peanut oil, and add the broccoli, green beans, and carrots. Sauté or stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, until softened. Reduce the heat to low, add the sesame oil, sesame seeds, and seasoning to taste. Mix well until coated and remove from the heat.
  • For the salmon, place a large clean pan over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down, wiping off any excess miso glaze first. Sear for 3 minutes, until the skin is deeply golden, then flip. Cook for 1½ minutes on the remaining sides, until golden and the salmon flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 52-63°C (125-145°F), depending on your preferred doneness. Work in batches if needed. Add the remaining miso glaze and bring to a simmer, reducing for 1–2 minutes until thick. Remove from the heat and rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Portion the vegetables into 5 x 750ml airtight containers. Add the salmon fillets and drizzle over the remaining pan sauce. Garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Pat the salmon dry and wipe off excess glaze before it hits the pan, as written — too much marinade on the surface will burn in the time it takes to get the skin properly crispy.
Don't move the salmon once it's skin-side down — resisting the urge to check or flip early is what gives you that deeply golden, crisp skin instead of it tearing and sticking to the pan.
Let the miso glaze reduce until it's properly thick and glossy before removing from the heat — a thin sauce will just run off the salmon and vegetables instead of clinging to them.
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months, though salmon's texture softens slightly after thawing compared to fresh.
To reheat, warm gently in a pan over low-medium heat or in the microwave in short bursts, until just heated through — be careful not to overcook, as salmon dries out quickly on reheat. Thaw frozen portions in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Recipe Notes

Miso Glazed Salmon Storage Instructions

To store, place in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months, both stored in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. 

Miso Glazed Salmon Reheating Instructions

To reheat, place in the microwave in bursts until the salmon and vegetables are hot. Alternatively, you can reheat in a pan, but you run the risk of overcooking the salmon and burning your food. I don’t like to admit it, but the microwave option is your best bet.
