Description
A flavorful, tender salmon fillet coated in a sweet and savory miso glaze perfectly caramelized under the broiler for a quick, restaurant-quality dinner.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp water (to thin, if needed)
1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
3. Pat salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush miso glaze generously over each fillet.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until salmon is nearly cooked through.
6. Switch oven to broil and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
8. Serve hot with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking.
White or yellow miso works best for a mild, balanced flavor.
This recipe pairs beautifully with jasmine rice and a side of sautéed bok choy or edamame.
