Salmon Miso Yaki (Weight Watcher Friendly - 7 Points)

Abby Girl's Note:

I found this recipe in a little booklet promoting BC salmon. The author was born and raised in BC, but the family was originally from Japan. This recipe goes back generations and was originally brought over at the beginning of the century. Miso has an wonderful, intense flavor that seasons salmon just beautifully.

Our grill was working against us, so I pan fried. :( I found the sauce to be a little thick, so I thinned it out with chicken stock and used as a quick marinade, let sit for 30 minutes before pan frying about 2 minutes on each side (We like it less cooked than most, but the fillets were thin too), removed fish and added a touch of cornstarch to the marinade to thicken and served drizzled over the salmon. The BF was very impressed! Served over Brown rice. Thank you so much for this quick amazing Japanese salmon recipe.
