Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp white miso paste
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
Sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish
Steamed rice and broccoli, for serving
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
3. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet and let marinate for 10–15 minutes (optional for extra flavor).
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
6. For a caramelized finish, spoon extra glaze over the fillets and broil for 1–2 minutes if desired.
7. Serve hot over steamed rice with broccoli or vegetables, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
White or yellow miso paste works best for a mild, balanced flavor.
This recipe also works great with cod or trout.
Pair with a side of pickled cucumber or miso soup for a complete meal.
