Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • Container with lid large enough to fit salmon or large Ziplock bag
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

Miso Marinade

  • 0.25 cup white miso paste
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar though maple syrup or honey can be used instead
  • 0.25 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, if gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoon ginger paste or fresh chopped ginger

Salmon

  • 4 6 oz salmon fillets skin on or off

Recommended for Serving

  • thinly sliced scallions
  • black and white sesame seeds
  • cilantro

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Make the marinade. Place ¼ cup (60g) white miso paste, ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup (60ml) mirin, 2 tablespoon (35ml) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil, and 2 teaspoon ginger paste in a mixing bowl, then whisk well.
  • Marinate the salmon. Place salmon fillets in a large tupperware or in a large Ziplock bag. Reserve 2 tablespoon marinade, then pour the rest on top of the fish. Seal, then marinate for 30 minutes.

Cooking

  • When ready, preheat the broiler to high, then coat a sheet of parchment or aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin side down, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Broil the salmon for 6-8 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, or until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 120°F (49°C).
  • Finish, then serve. Brush the fillets with the remaining marinade, then serve immediately with thinly sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Parchment paper is flammable–be cautious when broiling and ensure that the paper lies flat on the sheet pan! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in a fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat gently in a microwave. Freeze cooked salmon for up to 3 months.
