Yuzu Miso Glazed Salmon with Soba Noodle Salad
May 24, 2025
Make the most of fresh Yuzus, (ripe May.) and prepare this wonderful dish. We had this for dinner last night. It was so yummy. The Yuzu worked so well with the miso, salmon and veges. The soba noodles absorbed a lot of the dressing, enhancing the taste.
We couldn't get beans at any supermarket so we used broccolini instead. I cut the stems into bit sized pieces and cooked them slightly longer than the broccolini heads. I would certainly use them again.
You can freeze Yuzu juice for use in later months if you wish.
This recipe is an economical, and in our opinion nicer, alternative to the Yuzu and Miso grilled salmon. The flavours are more pronounced and it is light and fresh.
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 4 tbsp yuzu juice
- 11/2 tbsp honey
- 1tbsp soy sauce
- 10 drops of Sesame Oil according to taste. (Sesame oil is strongly flavoured)
- 11/2 cup edamame beans

Method

- Spread 1/3 to a 1/2 of the glaze evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Reserve the rest of the glaze/dressing for the salad
- Fold the thin belly section of the fillet under itself to make it thicker. This stops this end from over cooking.

- Also lay flat the salmon skins, preferably on another lined slice tin
- Bake for 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove fish from oven
- continue to cook Fish skin until crispy but not burnt.
