Miso Marinade

Before refrigeration, packing fish in miso was used as a preservative. The high salt content prevents molds and bacteria from growing, and the enzymes break down the flesh of the fish, making it extremely tender. For more information on Miso, see the Miso Soup recipe page.

Sake Miso - Miso-marinated Grilled Salmon

From Homma, p205:

Serves 8

2 lbs salmon filet
1 lb miso shiro
1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sake

Wrap salmon in gauze. Combine all other ingredients. Apply the paste to the outside of the wrapped salmon. Marinade in a ziplock bag or a covered container in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
Remove marinade and gauze. Grill fish 7-8 mins on the meat size, then 5-6 mins on the skin side over med-high heat. Garnish with grated green radish or a small mound of wasabi.
