This miso glazed salmon is one of my favorite ways to brighten up a weeknight dinner. The glaze caramelizes in the oven to create a lovely savory crust while the inside of the fish stays tender and moist.

It is incredibly simple to pull together even after a long day. I love serving this with a side of steamed greens or rice to soak up all that extra sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth.

  3. 3

    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet skin side down.

  4. 4

    Brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve warm with an extra drizzle of the pan juices if desired.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. This salmon is excellent flaked cold over a fresh salad for lunch the next day.
