Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake or dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced(optional)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.
- 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze adheres properly.
- 3
Place the salmon in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the miso mixture over them, ensuring even coating.

Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, though 2 hours is preferred for deeper flavor.

Preheat your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly greasing it with oil.
- 6
Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet, wiping off excess marinade to prevent burning.

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