Description
Want to make restaurant-quality miso salmon in your kitchen? This recipe combines sweet and savory flavors that create a perfectly glazed fish. Your guests will love this sophisticated yet simple dish.
The miso glazed salmon takes just 30 minutes from start to finish. A flavorful miso mixture marinates the salmon filets. The broiling process creates a caramelized exterior while the fish stays moist and tender inside.
Ingredients
To make the Salmon and Garnish:
- 2 skinless salmon filets (about 8 ounces each).
- Sesame seeds for garnish.
- Sliced scallions for garnish.
To make the Miso Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste.
- 1 tablespoon sake.
- 1 tablespoon mirin.
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce.
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil.
- 1 clove garlic, grated.
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger.
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: Whisk all marinade ingredients in a resealable bag until they blend well.
- Marinate: Place salmon in the marinade and coat all sides. Let it sit for 30 minutes at room temperature (if not too hot) or in the fridge.
- Preheat: Heat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Cook: Place the marinated salmon on the prepared pan after shaking off extra marinade. Bake for 13-14 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes until you see slight caramelization.
Notes
Special Equipment: A sheet pan, aluminum foil, and a large resealable bag will get the job done.
Marinating Time: The fish can become mushy after 45 minutes of marinating.
Miso Selection: White miso paste works best for this recipe.
Watch the salmon during broiling because miso burns quickly.
