Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish optional

Equipment

Pan (required): A broiler-safe pan or baking dish.
Whisk (required): To mix the miso marinade.
Measuring cups and spoons (required): For accurate measurements.

Method

Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth.
Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and gently massage it into the fillets. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10-15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for a deeper flavor).
Preheat the broiler: Preheat your oven's broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Broil the salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is golden brown on top and flakes easily with a fork. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired. Serve the salmon with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less honey.
If you don’t have white miso, you can use red miso, but it will have a stronger flavor.
For a lower-carb option, serve the salmon with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
