Miso Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz / 180g each)
• 2 tbsp white miso paste
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix miso, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey into a smooth paste.
2. Pat salmon dry. Coat the top and sides with the miso glaze.
3. Place salmon skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Broil on high for 10-12 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and fish flakes easily.
4. Top with sesame seeds and green onions.
5. Serve with rice and steamed vegetables.

Notes

Watch it under the broiler. Miso glaze goes from caramelized to burnt fast. Stay close for the last 2 minutes. If you don't have mirin, use 1 tbsp rice vinegar + 1 tsp sugar. White miso is milder than red. Red miso works but will be saltier—reduce soy sauce to 2 tsp.
