Miso paste has a deep taste, and soy and lemon juice give it a great complexity. They’re such a great partner to the richness of the fish. Surely just miso dressing and salmon couldn’t possibly make anything taste that good, right? But of course it does. And the texture, is delightful.

This dressing is quite possibly the best reason to keep a small container of umami-rich miso paste in the fridge. Combined with a few pantry ingredients, it gives the salmon an ultra-rich, savory flavor.

    Sushi grade salmon should always be farm raised.. Only frozen wild salmon can be used for sushi.

  2. Wondering if you think smoked salmon would also work?

    1. It’s usually made with sashimi grade salmon to enjoy this dish safely. But if you can’t find it and don’t mind the smoked flavor, you can try to make it with smoked salmon and use less miso, otherwise it might turn out too salty. Or use wild caught salmon and just sear the surface. Let me know how it turned out for you. Happy cooking!
