INGREDIENTS

• 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

METHOD

1. For the glaze: place the miso, maple syrup and orange juice in a small bowl and mix together.
   
   
2. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the salmon, skin-side up, for 3–4 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 2–3 minutes or until golden and just pink in the centre. Spoon the glaze over the Akaroa salmon, turn to coat and remove from the heat.
