miso and orange glaze
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste (see tip)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- To make the miso and orange glaze, place the miso, maple syrup and orange juice in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the salmon, skin-side up, for 3–4 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 2–3 minutes or until golden and just pink in the centre. Spoon the glaze over the salmon, turn to coat and remove from the heat.
