Just marinate and grill! The miso-to-seasoning ratio (3 tbsp. miso) is the golden balance for incredible flavor. Great for bento or freezer prep. Perfect to enjoy when salmon is in season.

"I’m a fun-loving chef and devoted foodie, so captivated by Hokkaido’s incredible variety of ingredients that I decided to make it my permanent home. I’ve been living here for 20 years. In spring, I forage for wild vegetables; in summer, I camp; in autumn, I hunt for mushrooms; and in winter, I ski. I’m an active explorer who chases seasonal flavors and gourmet experiences all across Hokkaido—even if it means spontaneous long-distance trips. My motto is: “If the night is fun, tomorrow will surely be even better!” I focus on creating recipes for flavorful appetizers that liven up the evening and hearty main dishes that make you want to keep reaching for more rice."

Tips & Notes

・Recipe tested with Shinshu miso (11% salt).
