Easy Mustard-Glazed Broiled Salmon

Rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a dash of Asian hot sauce give this broiled salmon a sweet and sour, slightly spicy flavor profile. Chef John says, "This simple recipe makes a great salmon glaze. The sugar in the seasoned rice vinegar caramelizes under the broiler and the sweet, salty vinegar works perfectly with the tangy mustard. While my original recipe only had two ingredients, I've added Sriracha hot sauce and a pinch of salt."

Chef John's Miso-Glazed Barramundi

Simply mix a little miso paste with brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce; spoon it over the fish filets, and fry the glazed filets in a hot pan until beautifully caramelized. "This miso-glazed recipe features Barramundi, a mild, flaky, white-fleshed fish that you'll probably be seeing more and more due to its reputation as a sustainable, eco-friendly seafood. It's showing up in grocery store frozen seafood cases, and chances are you'll run across some soon. If you do, buy it and make this recipe."
