Description
This Easy Miso Salmon Recipe is broiled to perfection in a flavorful honey-miso glaze that’s both sweet and savory. It’s a quick, healthy dinner that takes less than 25 minutes from start to finish — packed with omega-3s, probiotics, and loads of umami flavor.
Ingredients
4 (4 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 tbsp white or red miso paste
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari / coconut aminos for gluten-free)
1 tbsp rice vinegar (or mirin)
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp olive oil (for greasing the pan)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Optional: sliced green onions, for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place skin side down on the foil.
Step 2: Make the Miso Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Marinate the Salmon
Brush or spoon half of the glaze over the salmon fillets. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavor.
For a deeper flavor, cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
Step 4: Broil to Perfection
Preheat your oven to broil (on high).
Place the tray on the upper rack and broil for 5–7 minutes, depending on thickness, until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon is opaque but still juicy inside.
Step 5: Glaze & Serve
Remove from oven and immediately brush with the remaining glaze.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice or veggies.
Notes
- White miso is milder and slightly sweet, while red miso gives a stronger, saltier flavor — use whichever suits your taste.
- For a spicy kick, add a touch of sriracha or grated ginger to the glaze.
- Always watch closely while broiling — the glaze can caramelize fast!
