Marinated in a sweet and savory miso marinade, this Miso Salmon recipe makes a delicious weeknight meal. Enjoy with Japanese ginger rice!

Miso Salmon

INGREDIENTS

• 14 oz skin-on salmon fillet (14 oz = 400 g) (cut in half if one big piece)

Marinade:

• 2 Tbsp white miso (See Notes)
• 1 Tbsp sake
• 1 Tbsp mirin
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• ¼ tsp sesame oil (roasted)

Topping:

• ½ tsp white and black sesame seeds (roasted/toasted) (optional)
• 1 green onion/scallion (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Gather all the ingredients.
   
2. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl.
3. Place the salmon in the bowl, skin side up. Spoon marinade and coat the salmon skin. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I don’t recommend longer than that as miso is quite salty.
4. Set the oven broiler to high and preheat for 3 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remove excess marinade from the salmon as miso gets burnt easily while cooking. Broil the salmon at the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness, until salmon is cooked through.
5. 1. Top broiled salmon with sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallion. I served the salmon on top of the Ginger Rice.
