Miso glazed salmon is the dish that made miso famous on restaurant menus around the world. The glaze caramelises under the grill into sticky, slightly charred edges while the fish stays soft inside.
It takes four pantry staples: white miso, mirin, sake and a little sugar, with a touch of soy. Restaurants marinate overnight, but even 10 minutes gives great flavour.
Serve with steamed rice and something green like bok choy or blanched broccolini.
