Ingredients:

4 x 150 g Tasmanian salmon fillets, skin-on
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sake
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp pomegranate arils, for garnish
1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
Orange slices, for garnish
Herbed couscous or quinoa, to serve

Instructions:

1 Marinate the salmon
In a small bowl, mix miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and a touch of orange zest. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavour infusion.
2 Bake and garnish
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and pomegranate arils for a festive touch.
3 Serve
Plate the salmon on a bed of herbed couscous or quinoa, surrounded by sautéed broccolini. Garnish with sprigs of dill and orange slices for a Christmas-themed presentation.
