Marinated Maple Miso Dijon Salmon

By peridot728

You are probably familiar with using a honey dijon in a marinade but instead of using honey here we are using maple syrup.  It has a unique flavor all its own and then Kevin adds the Japanese inspired miso.  Miso is a fermented soybean paste.  This combination adds another layer of goodness to this already delicious recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white miso paste
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, grated

Preparation

Step 1

Place the salmon in a baking dish, brush with the mixture of the maple syrup, mustards, miso, vinegar, soy sauce and garlic and bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until the salmon just starts to flake easily, about 10 minutes.

Option: Marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30+ minutes before baking.
