Miso-Glazed Salmon with Soba Noodles

Name: Miso-Glazed Salmon with Soba Noodles
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Japanese
Ingredients: 4 × 150g salmon fillets; 3 tbsp white miso paste; 2 tbsp mirin; 2 tbsp sake; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tsp, grated fresh ginger; 1 clove, minced garlic; 200g soba noodles; 2 heads, separated bok choy; 1 tbsp sesame oil; 2, thinly sliced scallions; 1 tbsp, toasted sesame seeds

You're in for a treat with this miso-glazed salmon. The delicate balance of sweet and savory from the miso marinade caramelizes into a rich, umami-packed crust, while the salmon stays incredibly moist and flaky. Served over nutty soba noodles and a bed of sautéed bok choy, this dish brings the authentic flavors of a Japanese izakaya right into your kitchen. It's elegant enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a weeknight. The marinade does double duty as a sauce, so every strand of soba is coated in that irresistible glaze. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and scallions for a touch of crunch and freshness.

brown sugar1 tbsp
fresh ginger1 tsp, grated
garlic1 clove, minced
soba noodles200g
bok choy2 heads, separated
sesame oil1 tbsp

Directions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together miso, mirin, sake, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic until smooth. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour marinade over, and let sit for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
2
While salmon marinates, cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
3
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crisp. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer salmon to a plate.
4
In the same skillet, add bok choy and cook for 2 minutes until slightly wilted. Pour in reserved marinade and bring to a simmer. Add cooked soba noodles and toss to coat, cooking for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
5
To serve, divide soba and bok choy among plates. Top with salmon fillet, spoon over any pan sauce, and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
