Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp red miso paste
1/4 cup soy milk
1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 1/2 Tbsp ginger, minced
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup sake
2 Tbsp tamari (thick soy sauce)
2 Tbsp Namida Wasabi paste made from Namida® 100% Pure Wasabi Powder

fresh edible flowers, rinsed

Method

1. In a small bowl, combine miso paste, soy milk, and sesame seeds.

3. Combine ginger, cayenne pepper, sake, tamari, and wasabi in a zippered plastic bag; blend well.
4. Add salmon; seal and toss to coat.
5. Marinate for 1 hour. The longer you leave it the spicier it gets. 🙂

8. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 13 minutes.
9. Remove salmon.
