Description
A quick and flavorful miso-marinated salmon dish, broiled to perfection with a sweet and savory glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on preferred)
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (optional)
- Steamed jasmine or short-grain Japanese rice (for serving)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sliced scallions (for garnish)
- Pickled ginger and cucumber slices (for serving)
Instructions
- Make the miso marinade by whisking together white miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger in a bowl until smooth.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate bowl before it touches the raw fish.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them in a shallow dish. Spoon the marinade over the salmon, coating all surfaces.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat the broiler to high and prepare a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Broil the salmon skin-side down for 7–10 minutes, checking for doneness.
- Baste the fillets with the reserved marinade in the final 2 minutes of broiling.
- Rest the salmon for 2 minutes, then serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions.
Notes
For a variation, try pan-searing the salmon instead of broiling for a different texture.
