Description

This Miso Glazed Salmon recipe delivers a deliciously savory and slightly sweet flavor profile with a tender, flaky texture. Marinated in a blend of miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, the salmon bakes to perfection and finishes with a quick broil for a beautifully caramelized glaze. Garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, this dish is perfect for an elegant weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 pounds salmon, sliced into four filets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup miso paste
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon: Lightly salt and pepper the 2 pounds of salmon filets evenly on both sides to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until the mixture is smooth. Set aside 1 tablespoon of this marinade for glazing later.
  3. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon filets in a medium-sized bowl and pour the marinade over the fish. Toss gently to coat all sides and allow it to marinate for 1 to 3 hours in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.
  4. Bake the salmon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, discard the leftover marinade, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish is almost fully cooked and opaque.
  5. Glaze and broil: Brush the reserved 1 tablespoon of marinade over the top of the fish. Switch your oven to broil on high and broil the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 125-130°F and has a caramelized glaze on top.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for garnish. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not over-marinate the salmon as the miso paste can become overpowering; 1-3 hours is ideal.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon is cooked to the perfect internal temperature of 125-130°F for a moist and tender texture.
  • Broiling caramelizes the marinade to add a delightful finish, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Leftover glaze can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and used as a dipping sauce or drizzle for other dishes.
