Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6-8 oz each)
- 1 teaspoon honey (for glaze-in the directions)
- green onions for garnish
- toasted sesame seeds for garnish
- 1/4 cup white miso
- 2 tablespoons japanese rice wine/mirin
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon asian chili sauce, more or less to taste
Instructions
- Make Marinade: Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Make Miso Glaze: Reserve 3 tablespoons for the glaze. To the reserved marinade, add 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of honey, adjusting sweetness as desired.
- Marinate: Pat the salmon dry and place it in a shallow dish skin-side down. Brush the marinade onto the salmon. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours for 1-inch thick fillets and 3-4 hours for thicker cuts. Let it rest at room temperature for the last 30 minutes.
- Prepare Pan: Line a small baking sheet with foil. Transfer the salmon to the pan, leaving at least 1 inch between fillets and wiping off excess marinade.
- Bake: Bake uncovered at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F.
- Glaze: Brush the salmon with the reserved glaze and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds as desired.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili sauce based on your spice preference.
For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets.
Let the salmon sit at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
