Main Ingredients

4 pieces Scottish salmon fillets

4 tbs white miso paste

2 tbs Honey

1 tbs Aged soy sauce

1 tbs Toasted sesame oil

1 cup Fresh basil leaves

1 tbs olive oil

2 cups Steamed rice

3 cups Mixed stir-fry vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)

2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 tsp Ginger, minced

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Miso Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.

2

Grill the Salmon

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Brush the miso glaze generously over the salmon fillets. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

3

Make the Basil Oil

In a small blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

4

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In a large pan or wok, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mixed stir-fry vegetables and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Serve

On each plate, serve a generous scoop of steamed rice, topped with the stir-fried vegetables. Place the grilled salmon on top and drizzle with basil oil before serving.
