Miso-Marinated Salmon
Serves 4
With a nice char and robust umami taste, prepare this salmon dish that bursts with flavor. Simply mix, marinate, and broil. It's that easy!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet japanese rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for greasing baking sheet)
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) (skin on)
Optional Ingredients
- Cooked rice
- Sautéed bok choy
- Furikake
Directions
- In a shallow baking dish, whisk together miso, sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and oil. Add salmon, skin-side up. Cover and chill, at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours (See Cook's Tip).
- Place oven rack at least six inches from top of oven. Preheat oven on broiler setting. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with a little oil. Wipe excess marinade from salmon and place, skin-side down, on baking sheet.
- Broil 5 to 7 minutes or until surface has browned and salmon is cooked through (center is no longer soft when pressed). If edges begin to burn, cover with foil or lower oven rack.
- Serve with cooked rice, sautéed greens, and a sprinkle of furikake, if desired.
Cook Tips
When marinating salmon in anything acidic, it is important not to over-marinate. The acid in the marinade will actually begin to cook the fish, resulting in a dry texture when finished.
