Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons mellow white miso
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon wasabi powder or to taste
- 2 large cloves garlic pressed
- 2 tablespoons plain sesame oil divided
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets patted dry
- 2 sheets nori
- 1 large head dinosaur (aka Tuscan or lacinato) kale stems removed, leaves chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat broiler to high. In a small bowl, whisk together miso, honey, and water. Whisk in wasabi and garlic.
- Coat bottom of a small glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Arrange salmon fillets in pan skin side down and spoon miso mixture over each.
- Cut each sheet of nori in half, and then fold each half lengthwise. Wrap nori strips around fillets, tucking ends under. Broil on middle rack for 7 minutes, basting twice. Cover pan loosely with foil, reduce heat to 400˚, and continue cooking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes more.
- While salmon is cooking, in a large sauté pan, heat remaining sesame oil and sauté chopped kale leaves with red pepper flakes until bright green and just tender, 4–6 minutes. Season with salt.
- Remove fish from oven and transfer fillets to serving plates. Arrange kale beside each fillet. Sprinkle sesame seeds over kale and serve immediately.
