Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 200 grams
• Firm tofu - 150 grams
• Chicken breast - 100 grams
• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets and chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the protein is marinating, press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
4. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Brush with the remaining marinade during the cooking process.
6. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and add the tofu cubes. Cook the tofu until golden, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on a plate with the salmon and tofu. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
