This Japanese Miso Salmon is 4 ingredient magic at its best.

I joke that Nobu, the worlds most famous Japanese restaurant, stole my mothers recipe.

Little did I know I was ahead of the pack.

Japanese seafood beachside BBQs were something we used to do quite frequently.

Most weekends, we would head out to a beach with our portable weber.

Wed scavenge for sticks for the BBQ while my parents went spear fishing.

You could NEVER do that now besides being illegal, all the marine life is gone!

(Not because we ate it all, because of environmental changes!).

We fired up the BBQ and cooked freshly caught fish along with other marinated meats my mother brought.

It reminds me of my Christmas growing up.

Back then, I was envious of my friends sitting in a dining table with a ham centrepiece.

The miso marinade for this salmon is my mums recipe a very classic Japanese marinade.

Its only got FOUR ingredients in it seriously!!!

Miso, sugar, sake (Japanese rice wine) and mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine).

Just mix it together, slather it on, marinade then barbecue OR bake the salmon.

And this side of salmon is just about the easiest centrepiece that I can think of.

A seafood feast just screams of summer, doesnt it?

Beach, sun, summer fun!
