Miso Baked Salmon with Coconut Rice and Coriander Sauce

Miso paste is a really good ingredient to have in your fridge. I also use it for quick Ramen soups but Miso baked salmon is by far my favourite. I’m always surprised how quick and easy this is.

Portions: 2 adults + 2 children
Cooking time: 40 minutes

What's in it: Salmon is a good source of Omega 3 fats while coconut provides magnesium, calcium, potassium, folic acid and vitamin E and C. Combined with broccoli or any vegetable, this really makes a healthy family meal.

Ingredients:

• 600-800g fresh salmon
• 2 tablespoons miso paste
• Salt, pepper, olive oil
• Optional: black sesame seeds

• 1 ½ cups rice
• 1 small tin coconut cream
• Juice of ½ lemon or lime

• 20g coriander
• 2 teaspoons natural yoghurt
• A dash of olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon and ½ lime
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt, pepper

Serve with steamed carrots, broccoli , edamame (soya beans), or a stir-fry mix.

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC.  
2. Rub a thin layer of miso paste and olive oil onto the salmon and season with salt and pepper. Optional: sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
3. Place on a baking tray (lined with baking paper to avoid unnecessary washing up) and bake for 15-20 mins.
4. Cook rice according to pack instructions. When cooked, stir in coconut cream and cover until served.
5. For the sauce, mix together coriander, yoghurt, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper using a hand blender or food processor.
6. Serve with steamed carrots, broccoli , edamame (soya beans), or a stir-fry mix.

Can be enjoyed hot or cold. Not suitable for freezing and re-heating.
