OLaVie Miso Glazed Salmon & Cucumber Salad Recipe:
Miso Glazed Salmon
Makes 2 salmon fillets.
Ingredients:
2 Salmon Fillet
2 tablespoon of miso paste
2 teaspoons of honey
2 teaspoons of olive oil
2 pinches salt
2 pinches of pepper
1 Tablespoon of all-purpose flour
Instructions:
Prep the salmon fillets with the miso glaze. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, honey, oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the salmon fillet (the non-skin side).
Heat a large non-stick pan with oil over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, sprinkle a light dusting of all-purpose flour on the skin side of the salmon- this will give that skin that extra crispiness.
Raise the heat to medium-high and place the salmon in the pan, skin-side up.
Depending on the thickness of your fillet, your salmon will cook for about 4-6 minutes on the first side. Once you see the salmon turn from it’s orangish hue to a pinkish one halfway through the fillet, you may flip it over with a spatula, skin-side down.
Depending on how crispy you prefer your skin, cook for another 3-4 minutes on this side.
Once finished, transfer to plate and enjoy this easy, healthy, delicious meal!

Slice the cucumber in half-moon slices- thickness is up to you.
Chop the tomatoes - chunky or small, again it’s up to you. Mix in a bowl with the cucumbers.
