Discover how miso is good for so much more than soup! Broiled Miso Salmon Filets are quick to prepare, tasty, healthy, and perfect any night of the week!
In small saucepan, toast sesame seeds over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
In small bowl, combine miso paste, mirin, oil, soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, and honey. Stir in toasted sesame seeds.
Preheat broiler. (See Recipe Notes for baking vs. broiling.)
Coat salmon filets well in miso sauce and place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet. If using salmon filets with the skin on, place them skin side UP.
Broil a few inches away from the broiler for 10 minutes, watching closely so the salmon does not burn.
Serve with steamed rice and leafy green vegetables.
Notes
If you have a large salmon filet, cut it into serving portions so they cook evenly.
If baking instead of broiling, preheat the oven to 425 deg F (220C) and bake for 8-10 minutes in the center of the oven.
Time may need to be adjusted depending on how thick your salmon filets are.
You can purchase toasted sesame seeds if you do not want to toast your own.
This recipe works perfectly with skinless salmon filets as well as skin-on.
