Iโm thrilled to be partnering with NAKANOยฎ Rice Vinegar this winter to bring you several vibrant and healthy Asian-inspired dishes featuring their portfolio of high-quality rice vinegars. First up is this super simple tasty and perfectly cooked salmon entree: Slow Roasted Teriyaki Ginger Miso Salmon.
Roasting salmon slowly at a low temperature ensures this often tricky-to-cook fish does not become dry and overcooked. This easy teriyaki-inspired pan sauce is full of umami, salty and sweet flavors that pair perfectly with the refreshing mild flavors of fresh salmon. I used high quality farmed Atlantic salmon, which I prefer the taste of over wild sockeye salmon, but you can use any type of salmon you like in this recipe.
For the teriyaki sauce I used a base of low sodium tamari (soy sauce works fine too), NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar, and mirin. I then jazzed it up with white miso paste for a rich depth of flavor, and fresh garlic and ginger for zing. Teriyaki usually has sugar added as well, but since NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar is lightly sweetened, and mirin is sweet, it isnโt necessary to add extra sugar to this sauce.
The NAKANO brand has been brewing quality rice vinegar since 1804. Each variety of NAKANO Rice Vinegar starts with the finest ingredients and is always made with real rice, and is brewed according to traditional practices, creating a clean flavor that is mild and mellow.
Rice vinegar has always been a staple in my pantry. I use it nearly every day to prepare my sonโs favorite lunch: tofu and veggie sushi rolls and/or bowls. Just a splash of NAKANO Rice Vinegar adds a light twist to your favorite dishes.
