Ingredients

  • Broth
  • 1 litre Vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp Mirin or sweet sherry
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 6 Shiitake mushrooms, halved
  • 2 tbsp Miso paste (or 2 x 8g sachets miso soup powder)
  • 100g Silken tofu, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 tbsp Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Vegetable oil
  • 4 Salmon fillets, skin on
  • 100g Baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds, toasted

Method

  1. Mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and oil, and turn the salmon in the mixture to coat. Preheat the grill.
  2. For the broth, bring the stock to the boil, then add the mirin, soy sauce and mushrooms; simmer for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, mix a ladleful of the broth with the miso paste or powder, then pour back in, whisking well. Simmer the tofu cubes in the broth for 1 minute.
  3. Grill the salmon for 4–5 minutes on each side until the skin is crisp but the flesh is still just pink inside. Ladle the broth into bowls; scatter over the spinach. Top with the fish and scatter over the sesame seeds.
