Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup yellow or white miso
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 6-ounce salmon filets with skin on, about 1-inch thick
- canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Make the marinade by whisking together miso, mirin, sake, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Prep the salmon by checking for bones in the filets and trimming any thin parts for even cooking.
- Combine the salmon with the miso marinade in a baking dish, ensuring each side is coated. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
- Broil the salmon by placing it skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet, lightly oiled. Broil for 8-10 minutes until the thickest part reaches 120°F for medium-rare or 130°F for medium.
Notes
The longer you marinate the salmon, the more flavor it will absorb.
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
Make sure to monitor the salmon closely while broiling to avoid overcooking.
