Seared Salmon with White Wine, Miso, and Soy Sauce Glaze

When I made the Green Tea Soba (Japanese Buckwheat Noodles) with Almond Butter, I tried to think of something that would pair well with Japanese noodles. Remembering my Misoyaki Salmon recipe, I thought I'd do something similar but substitute with the white wine I was already using in the noodles. I also didn't want to spend days or even hours marinating my fish, so a thick paste and pan-frying seared in the flavors.

Seared Salmon with White Wine, Miso, and Soy Sauce Glaze

For 2 small fillets, you'll need:
1/4 cup white wine (I used moscato.)
2 tblsp soy sauce
1 tblsp miso paste
1 tsp sugar

Combine 1/4 cup white wine, 2 tblsp soy sauce, 1 tblsp miso paste, and 1 tsp sugar. If the mixture seems too thick, dilute with a tiny bit of water. Rub the paste on all sides of the salmon.

In pan on medium-high heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil. Pan-fry the salmon until the outside is seared and the inside is fully cooked. This may take anywhere from 8 to 12 minutes depending on the size of the fish fillet.

Serve with rice or green tea soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) with almond butter. If you wish, deglaze the pan with a bit of white wine. Extra marinade may be drizzled over the fish, if you wish. Ha! I rhymed.

Enjoy!

  3. this looks great..i've been wanting to try making a fish dish using miso, so looks like this is what will be for dinner this weekend.

  4. This looks delicious and I love to use miso on salmon. It adds wonderful flavor to the fish. Your marinade is thicker than mine and it also has better color. If I ever said "yum" I'd say it here. But I don't do that :-).

  7. You always see misoyaki black cod, at least that's the hip dish at Japanese fusion places nowadays. This is the first time I've seen it with salmon

  8. This looks so delicious! So many of the salmon recipes we have require marinating - this will be a good one for when we want a spontaneous salmon dish! ~ Belle

  11. Pam,
    Did you make it?

    Nic,
    Thanks!

    Sawyer,
    My misoyaki salmon recipe is pretty similar and easy too.

    Mary,
    You can say yum! The thicker marinade is to compensate for less marination time.

    David,
    You can find green tea soba everywhere it seems like. I got mine at Trader Joe's.

    Anne,
    I need to come up with more uses for my miso too. I've had it so long, it's starting to dry out.

    Aaron,
    This is the poor (wo)man's version. :) I mentioned the misoyaki black cod craze in my misoyaki salmon recipe. I think Nobu kick-started that one.

    Muse in the Kitchen,
    I rarely plan food in advance to allow for enough marination time but it seems to work fine for me.

    Dennis,
    Haha. I'm sure you have a much better fish recipe using miso.

    Wiffy,
    Hehe. Glad someone's amused with my rhymes. ;)
