About This Dish:
One great thing about this dish is that it is mess-free. All the cooking is done in the foil in your oven! All you have to do is throw in the salmon and your favourite veggies and drizzle the heavenly miso-mayo sauce on top. Salmon is affordable in Japan  and is loved by many. Many Japanese people cook salmon using their own fish grill at home but of course that could get boring at times. To be creative and different this method of cooking is used! 

What You Need:
(Makes 2 serving)

• 2 salmon fillets (Mine weighed a total of 0.72lb)
• Mushrooms 
• Veggies (However much you want as well, I recommend onions, asparagus, spinach, spring onions...) 
• 1.5 tbsp Japanese Kewpie Mayo (Available at Shaws, Japanese market, Amazon)
• 2 tsp Japanese Miso (Available at Japanese market, Amazon)
• 2 tsp mirin (Available at Shaws, Japanese market, Amazon)
• Salt and pepper
• (Optional) Japanese sake, butter

1. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salmon and leave it out on a plate for a couple of minutes. Preheat the oven on 400F-420F.

4. Please keep in mind that I didn't cook any vegetables this day. On a fairly large piece of foil, start by placing your veggies and mushrooms with some butter (if you want).

---

2. Meanwhile, place the mushrooms and veggies in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. This will release the water out of them and prevent them from being soggy when put into the oven with the salmon.

---

5. On top of your veggies and mushrooms, place the salmon and drizzle the sauce over it.

---

3. While your veggies are in the microwave, make the sauce! Mix in the miso, mayo, mirin and stir it up. It's that easy! 

---

6. Close the foil up and place it in the oven for 15-20min. Serve with some great Japanese rice!
