Ingredients

For the Marinade

1 cup White miso paste adds depth of flavor and umami
¼ cup Mirin sweet rice wine
¼ cup Sake can substitute with dry white wine
2 tablespoons Soy sauce low-sodium options work well
1 tablespoon Sugar balances salt and enhances caramelization

Lemon wedges optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and fresh ginger until smooth and well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high, positioning the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, watching for it to turn opaque and flake easily.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh twist.

Notes

For optimal flavor, marinate longer if possible. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste. Experiment with different garnishes for a personalized touch.
