Steps:
- Mix together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
- Place the salmon skin side up on a work surface and slather with just under half the marinade.
- Turn the salmon so it is skin side down onto a large piece of cling wrap. Slather the remaining marinade on the flesh side.
- Wrap the salmon in cling wrap. Marinade for 24 to 48 hours.
- Scrape the marinade off (do not rinse with water) and leave the salmon to come to room temperature
- Preheat barbecue plate side on MEDIUM LOW. Leave it to heat up for a good 10 to 15 minutes - another tip for cooking salmon perfectly.
- Add oil just before cooking. Place the salmon on the BBQ skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes, then use two spatulas to turn it. Cook the flesh side for 2 - 3 minutes or until caramelised, then flip it again so the skin side is down then transfer to a tray.
- Cover loosely with foil to rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will continue cooking while resting.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and finely sliced shallots.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Opt for fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks with vibrant color and firm texture for the best results.
- Marinate the salmon: Marinating the salmon in the miso mixture for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
- Cook the salmon properly: Whether grilling, baking, or pan-frying, cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Use high-quality miso paste: Look for authentic Japanese miso paste made from soybeans, rice, and salt for the best flavor. White or yellow miso is commonly used, but you can experiment with other varieties.
- Adjust the marinade to your taste: Feel free to adjust the proportions of sake, mirin, and honey in the marinade to suit your preferences. You can also add a touch of garlic or ginger for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled or steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad are all great accompaniments to miso salmon.
