Miso Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 6-ounce portions Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Sake
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced(optional)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.

2. 2

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze adheres properly.

3. 3

   Place the salmon in a shallow dish and pour the miso mixture over them, coating all sides.

4. 4

   Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly greasing it.

6. 6

   Place the salmon on the baking sheet, skin-side down, and wipe off any excess thick clumps of marinade to prevent burning.

7. 7

   Broil the salmon 6 inches from the heat source for 6 to 10 minutes, until the top is caramelized and the fish flakes easily.

8. 8

   Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
