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
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
- 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
Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease.
- 4
Remove salmon from marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade.
- 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
Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 7
Remove salmon from the broiler. Brush with the thickened miso glaze.
- 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.
