Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake or dry sherry
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Steamed rice and bok choy for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.

  2. 2

    Pat salmon fillets dry. Place in a shallow dish and spoon the miso marinade over both sides. Let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature (or up to overnight in the fridge).

  3. 3

    Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease.

  4. 4

    Remove salmon from marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade.

  5. 5

    Broil salmon 4-6 inches from the heat for 6-8 minutes, watching closely, until the top is deeply caramelized and the fish flakes easily.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Remove salmon from the broiler. Brush with the thickened miso glaze.

  8. 8

    Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice with bok choy on the side.

Pro Tips

💡

Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes if time allows — the miso penetrates the fish beautifully.

💡

Watch the broiler closely — the sugars in miso can go from perfectly caramelized to burnt in seconds.

💡

White miso (shiro miso) is milder and sweeter; red miso is more pungent — both work here.
