  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. In a bowl, mix together rice vinegar, miso paste, dijon mustard, and honey. Reserve 1/4 of the miso marinade, and rub the remaining marinade over the salmon fillets.

  • Step 2

    Add wild rice to the boiling water and cook until tender (15 minutes). In another small bowl, mix together soy sauce and sesame oil.

  • Step 3

    Heat a non-stick (oven-proof if possible) frying pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the miso-marinated salmon (skin side down) and cook until the skin is crisp. Turn the salmon and sear until caramelized.

  • Step 4

    Transfer the salmon to the oven (or first to a lined baking tray if not using an oven-proof pan). Bake until cooked through.

  • Step 5

    In another pan with olive oil over medium-high heat, cook the asparagus until tender and the skin has slightly blistered. Add the soy-sesame mixture to the asparagus and stir-fry for a few moments.

  • Step 6

    Plate the dish: drain the rice and distribute among serving plates, along with the asparagus. Remove the salmon from the oven and arrange on serving plates. Brush the salmon with the remaining miso-marinade if desired, and garnish the dish with sesame seeds to serve.

Miso salmon very tender and tasty but I personally prefer my asparagus to be dry fried rather than with soy & oil
