Method

  • step 1

    Stir together the miso, mirin, sugar and sake, if using. Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a medium food bag and cover with the miso marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 mins or, better still, overnight.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Use kitchen paper to wipe off the marinade (don’t be tempted to wash it off as you will lose some of the flavour). Place the fillets on the baking tray, skin side down. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, oil and sugar. Toss the cucumber ribbons in the dressing, then curl them up on two plates. Serve with the salmon and some plain white rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

Soooo good, used Phil Vickery’s oven cook method; room temp salmon in baking tray, 200 oven for 9 minutes exactly. Take out of oven and immediately cover to steam itself. Salmon is tasty and succulent! 😋

The cucumber salad is excellent, but the miso in the salmon made it excessively salty

question

Could the salmon be cooked in a skillet rather than in the oven?

Thanks for your question. Yes, you can. We'd recommend turning once during cooking. You'll need to reduce the cooking time too.

Delicious. Made this for 6 of us and all plates were completely cleared from the 9 year old to the retiree. Will definitely make this again.

Found this tasty but the salmon turned out a little dry. Nevertheless, my 4 year old and I enjoyed it.

If the fish is dry it's because it's over cooked. Perhaps your fish fillets were smaller or your oven temperature runs hotter than the recipe writer's. For fillets the size as shown in the illustration, I would decrease cooking time by a few mins.
