Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups edamame pods
- 8 oz, sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2, thinly sliced green onions
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger until smooth to create the glaze.
- Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and brush the miso glaze generously over each fillet. Let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Step 3: While salmon marinates, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 cups edamame pods and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Step 4: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Step 5: Pour in 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until the flavors meld, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Step 6: Place salmon fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with remaining glaze, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
- Step 7: Serve salmon alongside steamed edamame and mushroom soup garnished with 2 thinly sliced green onions.
