Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

  • 2 tablespoons miso paste

  • 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed

  • 1 pound salmon fillets

Directions

  1. Toast sesame seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Watch them closely and remove from heat once sesame seeds are a golden brown. Set aside.

  2. Combine miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, ginger, and honey in a small bowl. Mix well. Stir in toasted sesame seeds.

  3. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking pan with foil and lightly grease with oil.

  4. Coat salmon well in the miso sauce and place skin-side up on the baking pan.

  5. Broil in the preheated oven, watching closely, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Swap soy sauce for tamari or liquid aminos for a gluten-free version.

You can also bake these at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) instead of broiling.
