Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6-8 oz each)
- 1 teaspoon honey (for glaze-in the directions)
- green onions for garnish
- toasted sesame seeds for garnish
- 1/4 cup white miso
- 2 tablespoons japanese rice wine/mirin
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon asian chili sauce, more or less to taste (like sambal oelek)
Instructions
- Make the marinade by whisking together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade for the glaze. Mix these with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of honey, adjusting sweetness as desired.
- Pat the salmon dry and place it skin-side down in a shallow dish. Brush the marinade over the salmon, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or longer for thicker cuts. Let marinate at room temp for the last 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet or pan with foil. Transfer salmon to the pan, leaving space between fillets, and wipe off any excess marinade.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and bake uncovered for 8-10 minutes. Use a thermometer to check that the thickest part of the salmon registers 125-130°F.
- Brush the cooked salmon with the reserved glaze and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For a sweeter glaze, feel free to add more honey to the glaze mixture.
Make sure to monitor the internal temperature of the salmon to prevent overcooking.
