We are definitely in the middle of summer here in Chattanooga and our meals definitely reflect that. LOTS of salads and grilled food. I had picked up some miso paste last time I was in an Asian food store and had been wanted to try it with salmon. This is a great combination between the miso and citrus. Great hot summer evening dinner. I served it with grilled asparagus and basmati rice.
MANDARIN MISO SALMON (serves 2)
one 3/4 pound salmon fillet
3 Tbsp freshly-squeezed orange juice, plus the zest from the peel
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp miso (I prefer white miso)
1/2 tsp honey
chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
finely chopped red pepper, for garnish (optional)
mandarin orange slices, for garnish (optional)
Combine juice, garlic, ginger, vinegar, miso, and honey. Stir until thick. Add orange peel zests. Marinade salmon at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Grill.
Serving suggestions: green salad (would be wonderful with the Go-To Summer Salad {see May 31, 2011 post}, steamed vegetables, steamed rice, broccoli. Found at www.spiciefood.blogspot.com.
