Sauted salmon and vegies with miso sauce

Although I have a healthy food lifestyle here in Australia, one thing I really miss about Japan is to eat fresh fish. Unfortunately, in the place where I currently live it is really hard to get fresh fish and seafood. That's why I cook fish in the Japanese way with lots of healthy vegetables when I find nice ones! This is one of the yummy fish recipes my mom often cooks and I'll share with you today. Enjoy it!

What you need today.....     (serves 2)
  2 pieces of salmon fillet
  Vegetables (mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, capsicums, onions etc), sliced or cut into small pieces
  10g butter
  3 tbsp miso
  2 tbsp white sugar
  2 tbsp sake
  1 tbsp mirin
  1 tsp soy sauce
  2 cloves garlic, grated
  Salt / pepper to season


     1. Mix miso, sugar, sake, mirin and soy sauce into a small bowl. Set aside.

     2. Melt butter in a frying pan and cook salmon both sides. Season with salt and pepper.

     3. When the outside of salmon is cooked, add all the vegetables cook them until they get soft.

     4. Add the sauce (discard the water from the vegetables if you have) and mix everything well. Cook for another 1 min and it's ready to eat!


Additional note: I used mixed miso(red and white) this time. The taste would be different depending on what type of miso you use. If you have only red miso, use less as it has strong flavour. Taste the sauce first before you add into a pan.
