Miso Salmon
I devised this straightforward broiled miso salmon recipe in response to my family's request for a Japanese-style dish. It remarkably resembles the flavors we've savored at Japanese eateries. Pair it with steamed white rice and a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1 cup miso paste
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup prepared soy-ginger salad dressing
- ¼ cup sake
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Poach fish just until cooked on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a broiler pan.
- Stir together miso paste, brown sugar, salad dressing, sake, water, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Spread over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.
