Miso Salmon

Ingredients:

2 lbs salmon, cut into desired size portions
1 Cup white miso
¼ cup Mirin
2 Tbsp sugar
1 dried red chili, stemmed and seeded
1 Tbsp ginger
3 Tbsp sake or white wine
¼ cup of water
olive oil

Instructions:

In a food processor, combine miso, mirin, sugar, chili, ginger, and sake. Puree until you get a fine blend. Add ¼ cup of water while blending to loosen marinade. When done, take the marinade and separate ¼ cup and sit to the side. Marinade the salmon and let it sit in the marinade out on the counter top for 2 hours to 3 hours. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a frying pan with olive oil and wait for a light smoke to appear off the surface of the pan. Gently place the salmon on the pan for a light sear for about 1-2 minutes. Then when you are ready to flip the fish to the other side. put it onto a baking pan and place in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. When done, drizzle with the extra sauce and enjoy with brown rice and a fresh green salad. ONO!
