What do i need?
- Salmon – you will need some boneless salmon fillets ready for baking. Easily found in most supermarkets and fish mongers!
- Sweet potato – simply peel, cut and cube into small chunks.
- Radish – radish adds texture and beautiful colour to this salad. Lidl are selling mixed British radishes in their deluxe range at the moment. Do not miss out!
- Mixed dried berries – I bought a mixed pack of dried berries in lidl. It includes cranberries, sultanas, raisins and more.
Sweet Miso Marinade –
I love a marinade and this one is delicious and perfect with salmon! Be sure to grab all of the ingredients for the best results!
- Miso paste – this is essential! It provides the marinade with sweet umami flavours! There are many different types and brands of miso paste. My current fave is Yutaka Organic Miso Paste.
- Japanese Sake – this ingredient is optional but adds great flavour to the marinade. This can be found in Waitrose, Wing Yip or a Japanese supermarket.
- Sweet mirin – another essential Japanese condiment adds sweetness.
- Sesame oil – one of my favourite Asian condiments provides a rich smoky sesame flavour.
- Coconut sugar – you can also substitute this with brown demarara sugar.
- Light soy sauce – add just a splash for seasoning!
Sweet Miso Dressing –
A yummy sweet miso dressing is super easy to make! In a jar add the following:
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar;
- heaped tbsp miso paste;
- 1 tbsp honey;
- 1 tbsp sesame oil; and
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil.
So simple and easy to make. Taste and adjust to your taste – Easy Peasy!
