Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 large (julienned) red bell pepper
• 1 medium (julienned) carrot
• 100 grams snap peas
• 150 grams (sliced) shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
• 4 cups cooked white rice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and brush the marinade generously over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the toasted sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the julienned red bell pepper, carrot, snap peas, and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean and set it over medium heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 6

To serve, divide the cooked white rice among four plates. Top each plate with a portion of stir-fried vegetables and a salmon fillet.

Step 7

Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the dish as garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Misae’s Japanese Dance!
