WORTH SHARING A MILLION TIMES: MISO AND MAPLE SYRUP GLAZE


I think of this blog pretty much every day but I’m a terrible friend to it. I neglect it and don’t really take care of it. But today is a day I decide to make an effort to make it happy… to make it smile!

Be prepared, this terribly simple recipe is super delectable and your entire family will love it, including kids and babies… I’ve tried it and it works. You want a nice fast and healthy dinner? This is the best recipe you’ll have tried in months!! I made mine with nice jasmine rice and garlic spinach. The fish took 12 minutes to make (4 to prepare, 8 to cook), which is less than the rice, which took 20! Try to beat that Jamie Oliver with your 30 minutes meal!!!

MISO AND MAPLE SYRUP GLAZE
Makes 2 large fillets or 4 fish steaks
(Good for salmon, trout, pork and chicken)

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tbsp miso paste
2 tbsp grapeseed oil (or olive oil)
2 green onions or 1 shallot, finely chopped
1 tbsp sambal olek (or an asian hot sauce)
1 tsp curry powder
½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns, crushed

PREPARATION
Sauce
Blend together all of the ingredients.

Cooking the fish
Place 4 fish steaks or 2 large fillets of your choice on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (the sauce will caramelized once cooked) and generously brush with the miso and maple syrup glaze. Bake in the center of the oven, under the broiler, for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the type of fish, or until cooked (be careful not to overcook your fish). Serve hot with rice and a nice green vegetable!!
