Quick Miso Salmon: Under 10 Mins
This Miso Salmon recipe is easy to prep, cooks in under 10 minutes, and is packed with flavor. The marinade comes together in one bowl and can be prepped ahead, offering a delicious and healthy main course.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 4 fillets fresh salmon about 6 oz each
Instructions
- 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, granulated sugar, and sesame oil until well combined and smooth.
- 2. Place the fresh salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- 3. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Do not marinate for more than 2 hours as the miso can start to cure the fish too much.
- 4. While the salmon marinates, preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- 5. Remove salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your fillets and your broiler's intensity.
- 7. Carefully remove from the broiler and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like steamed rice or blanched asparagus.
Notes
For best results, use low-sodium soy sauce. You can adapt this recipe by cutting the salmon into bites and air-frying them for a delicious alternative, perfect for rice bowls. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite green vegetables.
