Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use salmon instead of trout?

Yes, salmon works beautifully with this glaze, though you may need to add an extra minute to the cooking time due to the thickness.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Most miso is gluten-free, but check your label to ensure no barley or wheat has been added to the fermentation process.

How do I know when the trout is done?

The fish is ready when the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily when nudged with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep it juicy.
