Maple-Miso Dijon Salmon

Maple-Miso Dijon Salmon
A super quick, easy, tasty, and healthy salmon in a maple-miso dijon glaze.

Maple dijon, a variation of honey dijon, is such a nice, easy and amazingly tasty flavour combo that goes great on so many things including meats like chicken and fish and vegetables like green beans, asparagus and even brussels sprouts, but my favourite way to enjoy it is on silky smooth salmon. Although the basic maple and dijon combo is great I often like to change things up with additions like grainy mustard or other flavours and one truly standout version is this one with a Japanese theme including miso. Miso is a fermented soybean paste that is packed with flavour and umami and it is typically used in soups but it also goes great in sauces and marinades like this one.
This maple-miso dijon salmon is literally as easy to make as mix the marinade, marinate and cook! All said and done it only takes about 15 minutes of effort! If you place the salmon in the marinade the night before or in the morning you can have the main course of your dinner ready in under 15 minutes! In addition to being super quick and easy to make it is amazingly tasty and pretty healthy to boot! The maple, miso and dijon flavours go magically well with the buttery, flaky salmon that just melts into your mouth!
I served the maple-miso dijon salmon on a bed of roasted beets and sauteed beet greens making for one really tasty and healthy light meal. The maple-miso dijon marinade also makes for a great salad dressing and I drizzled some extra over the beets and greens.

    Anne Bryant: Wrap the beets in foil, bake at 375F oven until soft, about an hour, let cool, peel and slice. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in pan over medium heat, add 1 clove chopped garlic and a pinch of chili pepper flakes and sliced greens and saute until wilted.
    Enjoy!

    Thank you for posting this recipe. My mother used to make fish in miso sauce so I was glad to be able to actually have a recipe for it.

    Kevin, I made this last evening for my brother and his wife and we all thought it was to die for! Delicious! My brother asked what the greens were because he liked them so well (I used the beet greens and some mache) and all I used was a bit of EVOO and Himalayan sea salt when I did the saut̩. Delicious salmon dinner Рtry this recipe everyone!

    This recipe is fantastic! It's easy and looks like you spent more time that you did on it. I made this for my mom for Mother's Day- served with a side of coconut rice and steamed baby bok choy. She loved it, as did I. Thanks.
