When it comes to inspiration for quick, nutritious and flavourful meals, star chef and restaurateur Jamie Oliver tends to be a go-to. The author recently shared a new recipe on his official website for a meal that it equal parts hassle-free and tasty. His golden miso salmon packs an umami punch that’s perfectly balanced by roasted asparagus and sugar snap peas, along with the distinctive crunch of a sesame seed crust.
The chef said: “Going hard and fast with the grill adds an extra dimension of flavour, creating a satisfying meal.” When prepared as per Jamie’s instructions, this recipe serves four and is prepared, from start to finish, in just 23 minutes. Jamie Oliver’s golden miso salmon recipe 500g asparagus 320g sugar snap peas Olive oil One tablespoon dark miso Two tablespoons low-salt soy sauce One tablespoon sesame oil Two limes Four 130g salmon fillets, skin on, scaled, pin-boned, from sustainable sources One tablespoon sesame seeds One carrot Two spring onions Four radishes Four sprigs of fresh mint Preheat your grill to a high temperature.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and place it in a roasting tray (about 25cm x 35cm) along with the sugar snap peas. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil, then toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated. In a shallow bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Grate the zest of one lime into the mixture and squeeze in the juice, creating a flavourful marinade. Slice the salmon fillets lengthwis.
