Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each, skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your broiler and position the oven rack 4-6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth and glossy.
  • Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush half of the miso glaze over the salmon fillets, coating the tops evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Broil the salmon for 6-8 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze and continue broiling for 2-4 minutes more, until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove from oven and immediately garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve hot with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Storage tip: Leftover salmon keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 275°F oven to avoid overcooking. The glaze can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
