Salmon Sinigang sa Miso recipe

Salmon is a highly nutritious delicious fish that is perfect for sinigang (sour soup), steak or grilled. I seldom cook this fish because it is not always available in the market and expensive compared to other fish. I remember the delicious taste of Sinigang na ulo ng Salmon sa Miso  that we ate from Mangan restaurant and I missed it so I cook my own version of Salmon sinigang sa Miso recipe. It turned out to be a successful dish that everybody loves when I cooked it.

• Knorr Sinigang sa Sampaloc – Php 11
• 1 bundle Green Mustard Leaves (Mustasa) – Php 10

Remarks:

To avoid the bitter taste of the Mustard leaves (Mustasa), try to blanch it before mixing it with the sinigang. My technique to avoid the fishy taste and smell of the Salmon fish is to put a little amount of salt and enough ground pepper on the fish overnight before cooking it. In the photo above, I use a packed white miso that I bought from SM supermarket.

If you cannot find miso in the market, you can use Knorr sinigang sa Miso seasoning and you can try the other way of cooking special sinigang na isda sa miso.
