Ingredients
Salmon and Glaze
- 5 Ounces Salmon Filet
- 1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup
- 1 Teaspoon White Miso
- 1 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
Serving
- 1 Cup Good Culture Non-Fat Cottage Cheese
- 5-6 Crackers (seed crackers recommended)
- Chives, chopped (optional)
- Chili Crisp (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Salmon: Turn your oven broiler on high and line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper. Place the salmon filet on the tray skin side down.
- Make the Miso Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, white miso, and sesame oil until smooth. Brush this glaze evenly over the top of the salmon using a pastry brush or spoon.
- Broil the Salmon: Transfer the tray to the oven and broil the salmon for 8-9 minutes. For medium-rare, broil about 8 minutes; for more well-done salmon, broil the full 9 minutes. Once cooked, remove from oven and gently shred the salmon with a fork.
- Assemble the Plate: Arrange crackers on a plate. Spoon cottage cheese generously on the crackers, then top with shredded miso maple salmon. Garnish with chopped chives and a drizzle of chili crisp, if desired. Serve immediately.
- Make-Ahead Tip: The miso maple salmon can be prepared and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat or enjoy cold. Assemble crackers and cottage cheese fresh before serving to keep crackers crunchy.
Notes
- Broil salmon on high to get a nicely caramelized glaze.
- Adjust broiling time to preferred salmon doneness.
- Use non-fat cottage cheese for a high-protein, low-fat option.
- Chili crisp adds a spicy, crunchy element but is optional.
- Store miso maple salmon separately to maintain freshness and texture.
- Serving this with seed crackers adds texture and complements the creamy cottage cheese.
