Description
Sweet and savory glazed salmon featuring moist, flaky salmon and a sweet caramelized top. Ready in 25 minutes and made with just 7 ingredients, this recipe proves you can eat well any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white miso
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
- 1 skin-on wild-caught salmon fillet (1–1 ½ pounds)
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup sliced scallions
Instructions
Combine miso, mirin, honey, soy sauce, and sesame seeds in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until miso is dissolved into sauce. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 425ºF (218ºC) with racks set in upper middle and middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
Arrange salmon, skin-side down on a prepared sheet and season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Roast salmon on middle rack for 5 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and turn oven to broil. Lightly dab moisture off of the surface of salmon with paper towels. Spread glazed evenly over salmon; transfer sheet to upper-middle rack and broil until spotty brown on top and salmon is cooked through, 3–5 minutes.
Sprinkle scallions over top.
Serve with rice and smashed cucumber salad (or garlicky broccoli).
Notes
SALMON: I recommend using wild-caught salmon for this recipe. Their thinner fillets ensure the fish gets cooked through in the short time it takes for the glaze to caramelize.
GLUTEN-FREE: to keep this gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free miso and soy sauce.
