For cooking one-person meal, the canned fish is very handy to have in the pantry. I try to stock canned salmon, tuna, sardine and mackerel when they are on special. This ‘Canned Salmon Miso Don’ can be cooked, of course, with fresh salmon fillet but fish are all very pricy in Australia. A small canned salmon is just good enough for this dish. AND the key ingredient for this dish is the butter. Why don’t you try and find out how good it is with miso.

I recently came back from visiting Japan and I miss the food so much! I wanted to find a yummy recipe that uses canned salmon and this one is perfect.

Karina, thank you for finding my website. You miss Japanese food? Then many of my recipes can help you. Everyday dishes are easy to prepare, and I have been trying to cook them with the ingredients that are locally available in Melbourne, where I live. I’m glad you enjoyed this one.

I love your recipes. Super fast and so so tasty. I used 150g fresh shitake and a whole onion. Had it with rice and sweetcorn. Great!

Afra, thank you for such a positive comment. You are German, am I right? Thinking of someone in Germany cooking this recipe and enjoying it makes me over the moon!
