Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each, skin on
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste shiro miso
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp sake or rice wine
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 green onions sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. **Whisk.** Combine the miso, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a shallow dish until smooth.
  2. **Marinate.** Pat the salmon dry, add it to the dish, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
  3. **Prep.** Preheat the broiler on high with a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  4. **Broil.** Place the salmon skin-side down on the pan, scraping off excess marinade. Broil for 7 to 8 minutes, until deeply caramelized.
  5. **Rest.** Let the salmon rest for 3 minutes so it finishes cooking.
  6. **Serve.** Top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.

Notes

Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave at 50 percent power for 90 seconds so the fish does not dry out. Use skin-on salmon. The skin protects the fish from the broiler and crisps up beautifully.
