Ingredients
Miso-Glazed Salmon Marinade
  • 200g salmon
  • 1 tablespoon red miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 - 2 dashes of sesame oil
  • sesame seeds for sprinkle in the end
Roasted Asparagus
  • 1 bunch asparagus, clean and trim the end
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
Wasabi Mayo
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 - 2 teaspoon wasabi paste, adjust according to your preferences.
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix all of the salmon marinade except sesame seed. Then, coat salmon with the marinade evenly. Refrigerate for 10 mins.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 200C degree. Layer baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Add cleaned and trimmed asparagus along with olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix around with tongs until asparagus are evenly coated.
  4. Add marinated salmon in the middle of the tray, and bake for 25 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flaky. Adjust the baking time of salmon depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
  5. While salmon and asparagus are baking, prepare the wasabi mayo by mixing all ingredients of wasabi mayo in a small bowl. Add the wasabi paste little by little, and adjust to your taste. I personally like my wasabi mayo to have a strong wasabi taste. That's why, I put 2 teaspoon of wasabi paste. Reduce the wasabi if you don't like the smell to be too strong.
  6. Once salmon and asparagus are done, arrange asparagus on the plate, and top salmon on top of asparagus and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with wasabi mayo.
