Versatile miso (fermented soybean paste) keeps for months in the refrigerator and adds instant flavor to soups, sauces, dips, marinades and salad dressings. In general, the lighter the miso, the milder and sweeter its flavor. Light miso is the key to the wonderful flavor of this salmon.

  • Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

  • Whisk miso, mirin, soy sauce (or tamari), ginger and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl until smooth.

  • Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the prepared pan. Brush generously with the miso mixture. Broil salmon, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, until opaque in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • Transfer the salmon to warmed plates and garnish with the reserved sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro (or parsley).

Tips

Ingredient Note: Miso paste, mirin and tamari are available in health-food stores and Asian markets.

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

This recipe was delicous. I didn't have any miron but I used 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp of water and 1/2 tsp honey as a replacement. I also used a dark miso. I will for sure make this again as I'm always looking for ways to keep salmon interesting. Read More

This is now a regular dish in our house! We love to make it for just us or when a group of friends comes over! The Cheesecake Factory has something similar for 1600 cals so to make it even better for an 1/8th of that is stupendous! Abby Woodland Hills CA Read More

This was delicious! I didn't have mirin so I used rice vinegar and brown rice miso. I served it with steamed broccoli and brown rice and it was a hit with the whole family! I will definitely make it again! Elisa Switzerland Read More

I wanted to love this recipe but unfortunately nobody in my family (including me) liked it. The main comment was that it was way over-seasoned. I think a very light basting of the fish might work before broiling but there are a lot of flavors competing and really you just want the taste of the fish coming through. Read More
