Description
A rich and flavorful miso glazed salmon that delivers sweet-savory umami perfection with a caramelized crust and flaky, tender interior.
Ingredients
- Salmon Fillets: 4 fillets (6 oz each)
- White Miso Paste: 2 tablespoons
- Soy Sauce: 1 tablespoon
- Rice Vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic (minced): 1 clove
- Fresh Ginger (grated): 1 teaspoon
- Green Onions (sliced): 2 tablespoons
- Toasted Sesame Seeds: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the lined baking sheet.
- Assemble the Dish: Spoon or brush the miso glaze generously over each fillet.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily. Optionally broil for 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Finishing Touches: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Let the salmon sit at room temperature for even cooking.
- Marinate for 15–30 minutes for deeper flavor.
- Use foil or parchment to prevent glaze from sticking to the pan.
- Broil at the end for a beautiful finish, but watch closely to prevent burning.
