I’ve been focusing on my health lately and have been doing some research on a variety of treatments, wellness practices and more. Something that keeps coming up in my research is probiotics. According to the Mayo Clinic, probiotics “contain live organisms, usually specific strains of bacteria that directly add to the population of healthy microbes in your gut.”
We can get probiotics through both supplements and food. The most common probiotic food seems to be yogurt. In addition to yogurt, other foods rich in probiotics are kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, soybeans, tempeh, pickles, apple cider vinegar, some soft cheeses and miso (made from soybeans). However, many of us don’t get enough of these foods and drinks in our diets, for a variety of reasons, including that we don’t know how to cook with them.
Health Note: Miso contains quite a bit of salt so it may not be the best fit for someone following a low-sodium diet.
I’m committed to finding ways to get more natural probiotics into my diet, so I’ve been looking for healthy recipes that can help me do so. One of my favorites so far is a miso-glazed salmon recipe. It’s marinated with soy, sake honey and miso, which is full of lactobacillus probiotic strains. This high-protein, low-carb salmon recipe is not only delicious but it’s also a simple way for me to get some miso into my diet. Bonus: it’s easy to make!
Serve this broiled salmon with rice and vegetables for lunch or dinner. For even more nutrition, sprinkle with healthy sesame seeds.
Cuisine: American / Asian
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Marinating Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste (or 2 tablespoons red miso)
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 4 salmon fillets
- sesame seeds and green onions, for serving (optional)
Here’s how to make it:
- In a large bowl, whisk the miso, sake, honey and soy together. Add the salmon and toss to coat. Marinate salmon in the bowl for at least 30 minutes but as long as 24 hours, for a deeper miso flavor. You can marinate salmon in the bowl, covered, in the refrigerator. (Instead of maple syrup or honey, you could use 1 to 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.)
- Place the fillets in a casserole dish or broiling pan. About 6 inches from the heat element, broil for 6 to 10 minutes. Serve.
