Miso Salmon Recipe

This tender, flavorful Miso Salmon recipe is marinated in a sweet and savory miso sauce and broiled to juicy, caramelized perfection. It takes just a few ingredients and it cooks up in minutes!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. salmon (about (4) 6 ounces filets)
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons mirin (see notes for substitutions)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or substitute with your favorite sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce (For paleo, Low FODMAP or gluten-free diets, substitute with liquid aminos or coconut aminos.)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (if you don't have any on hand, it may be omitted)
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Toasted sesame seeds and scallions, for serving (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the miso paste, mirin, maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated.
2. 2Place the salmon in an 8x8" glass baking dish or a zip top bag. Pour in the marinade and coat the salmon well, then cover and marinate for 30 minutes to one hour at room temperature.
3. 3Preheat the broiler. Place the salmon on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet (be sure to use foil as parchment paper will burn under the broiler).
4. 4Broil about 6-8" below the broiler for about 5 minutes for up to 1/2" thick, or 8-10 minutes for up to 1" thick, until caramelized and the fat has rendered. All ovens vary, so be sure to keep an eye on the salmon as the marinade can burn easily. If the salmon begins to burn, place on the middle rack of the oven which is further away from the broiler. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and scallions if desired and enjoy!
