Miso Glazed Salmon With Crispy Broccoli.
This easy miso glazed salmon is coated in a rich miso butter glaze made with white miso, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce before being baked and finished under the broiler for a beautifully caramelized finish. Check the detailed steps with photos above to see how it's done.
Ingredients
- 1 skinless salmon fillet about 5 oz / 140–150 g
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated (or 1 teaspoon minced garlic)
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or coconut sugar or ⅛ teaspoon monk fruit sweetener
- Green onions sliced
- Sesame seeds optional
For serving
- Steamed broccoli or baked broccoli see notes below
- Sliced avocado optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, white miso paste, garlic, ginger, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar or monk fruit sweetener.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Spread the glaze evenly over the salmon on all four sides.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes until lightly caramelized.
- Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer if you have one. Around 125°F (52°C) produced the best texture during testing.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
