Easy Miso Glazed Salmon
Easy to make Miso Glazed Salmon that requires just 7 simple ingredients! This is a meal that's easy to throw together on a weeknight and still nice enough to serve for Sunday dinner!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons miso paste ( I used this
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 - 5 ounce pieces of coho or sockeye salmon see note
- sesame seeds for garnishing optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the miso paste, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar, Allow the brown sugar to dissolve. Marinate the salmon for 30 minutes to 1 hour covered in the refrigerator.
- Position a rack near the upper third of oven and preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil.
- Place the salmon on the foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle each piece with a teaspoon of the marinade. Bake the salmon filets for 5-10 minutes or until the salmon is tender and flakey in the center. Depending on the thickness of the filet, it may take more or less time. Serve warm topped with sesame seeds, if desired. I like to serve my salmon with a side salad or white or brown rice.
Notes
- I suggest using a good quality salmon for this recipe. Try to avoid using 'pink salmon' as this type of salmon is quite watery and will release lots of water in the baking process causing the fish to be wet and not flakey.
- Please note - baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the salmon. Feel for firmness on the thickest part of the filet to make sure your fish is cooked through.
