Description
A delicious and easy recipe for miso-glazed salmon that is packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- Optional: For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, try adding a tablespoon of sriracha to the marinade for a spicy kick.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa, and add steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
