Miso Glazed Broiled Salmon

This recipe came from a busy weeknight when I needed a quick, healthy meal. Using miso paste, I turned simple salmon into a flavorful dish that my whole family enjoyed, even the kids. It shows that nutritious eating can be delicious, even when you are busy.

Ingredients
  

For the Miso Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons red miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons tamari or dark soy sauce Use tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce, such as Sriracha Adjust to taste
For the Salmon
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets About 6 ounces each and 1 1/4 inches thick

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Broiler

Method
 

  1. Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the red miso paste, maple syrup, tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili sauce until you have a smooth glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half of the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  4. Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes. Watch carefully, as broilers cook fast.
  5. Remove the salmon from the broiler. Brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Return to the broiler for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is nicely caramelized. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  6. Serve the Miso Glazed Broiled Salmon immediately. This pairs well with steamed rice and a side of green vegetables.

Notes

This dish is naturally gluten-free if you use tamari instead of soy sauce. The quick cooking time makes it perfect for busy weeknights. If you are serving this to children, you can reduce the amount of chili sauce or omit it entirely for a milder flavor.
