Description
A vibrant and healthy miso-grilled salmon served with a crisp ramen noodle salad. Sweet, savory, and full of umami flavor, this dish combines tender grilled salmon with fresh vegetables and a light sesame dressing — perfect for a quick, impressive meal.
Ingredients
1 tbsp miso paste
1 1/2 tbsp honey
4 x 120 g salmon fillets, skin on
180 g ramen noodles
150 g snow peas, thinly sliced lengthways
1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 bunch radish, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coriander leaves
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat a greased barbecue grill or chargrill on medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine miso paste and half the honey. Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat evenly.
- Grill salmon for 2–3 minutes per side or until caramelized and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes or until just tender. Add snow peas and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Drain and refresh under cold water, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Add carrot, radish, and coriander leaves to the noodles. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and remaining honey to make the dressing. Drizzle over the salad and toss well to coat.
- Serve salmon on top of or alongside the noodle salad. Garnish with extra coriander or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Use white (shiro) miso for a mild flavor or red miso for a stronger taste.
Replace ramen with rice noodles and soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
Add edamame, cucumber, or shredded cabbage for extra crunch and color.
For spice, drizzle with chilli oil or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes.
Salmon can be baked at 200°C (400°F) for 10–12 minutes if preferred.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; serve the salad cold and reheat salmon gently.
