For the Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar White sugar can be used if preferred

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Toast for added nutty taste

  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ground ginger, grated fresh ginger, white miso paste, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before marinating the fish.
  2. Pat your salmon fillets dry and arrange them skin-side up in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Set your oven broiler to HIGH, adjusting the rack to the top third. Preheat for about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off before placing fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Broil the salmon for approximately 10-12 minutes, watching closely. The edges should become crispy and the fish should flake easily.
  6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a minute. Top with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Ensure your salmon fillets are patted dry for better caramelization. Monitor broiling time to prevent burning and adjust sweetness of marinade to taste. Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
