Miso marinated salmon is probably my favorite salmon dish right now. In general, you don’t need strong flavors to accompany salmon, so the miso marinade gives the salmon a subtle sweetness that enhances your fish. Enjoy this salmon both in the oven or on the grill.

Miso marinated salmon is probably my favorite salmon dish right now. In general, you don't need strong flavors to accompany salmon, so the miso marinade gives the salmon a subtle sweetness that enhances your fish. Enjoy this salmon both in the oven or on the grill.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup miso (fermented soybean paste)
- ¼ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
- 2 TB seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 TB minced green onions
- 1½ TB minced fresh ginger
- 2 TSP toasted sesame seed oil
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, with skin
- nonstick vegetable spray
Instructions
- Whisk first 6 ingredients in a glass baking dish to blend for marinade. Add salmon; turn to coat. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Preheat broiler (or grill). For broiler, line heavy large baking sheet with foil; spray with nonstick spray. Remove salmon fillets from miso marinade; using rubber spatula, scrape off excess marinade. Arrange salmon, skin side up, on prepared baking sheet. Broil 5-6 inches from heat source until skin is crisp about 2 minutes. Using a metal spatula, turn salmon over. Broil until salmon is just cooked through and golden brown on top, about 4 minutes. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
