A quick, flavor-packed broiled salmon recipe featuring a savory miso marinade that comes together in one bowl and cooks in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a healthy and impressive weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 fillet fresh salmon 6 oz each
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 stalk green onion sliced (for garnish
Instructions
- Combine miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a medium bowl to create the marinade.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all sides are coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Remove salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil the salmon for 7-10 minutes, or until it's cooked through to a perfect medium doneness and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on fillet thickness.
- Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
For a different twist, try air-frying the salmon cut into bites. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried greens. Ensure you use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness. Avoid marinating salmon for too long, as the miso can start to cure the fish.
