Prep 5 min Cook 7 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

4 6-ounce salmon filets
optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
¼ cup white miso paste
¼ cup mirin
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps

1
Make the miso marinade. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, honey, tamari soy sauce, and sesame oil.
2
Marinate the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then place in a glass dish. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl, then pour the rest of the marinade on top of the salmon. Make sure the salmon is well coated, then marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge.
3
Broil the salmon. Turn on your oven's top broiler. Line a quarter baking sheet with parchment paper (see notes below), and place the salmon filets on top. Position the top rack about 5 to 6-inches underneath the broiler. Broil the salmon for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. The salmon should get lightly charred on top, and the middle should be just cooked through.
4
Glaze and serve. While the salmon is still hot, brush a light coating of the remaining marinade on top. If you'd like, garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
