Description
A delicious and easy recipe for grilled salmon glazed with a savory miso marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup white miso paste
- 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, finely sliced (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, try adding a few wood chips to your grill while cooking.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice or alongside grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
