Description

Quick, easy, delicious 20-minute miso-glazed salmon.   Salmon fillets marinated in a mixture of miso, brown sugar, soy sauce and hot water.  5 minutes of prep and less than 20 minutes in the oven.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 tablespoons light miso paste
  • 12 pounds salmon fillets

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, hot water and miso to assemble the miso-glaze.
  2. Preheat oven to high broil for a crispy caramelized top or to 350 degrees F for a more even bake.  
  3. Place 1-2 pounds of salmon filet on a baking dish. Pour glaze over it.
  4. Place salmon in the oven.  If broiling, 8-10 minutes.   If baking, cook 15-20 minutes until opaque in the center.  Either way, baste the salmon one or two times while cooking so the salmon absorbs the glaze and remains juicy.
  5. Garnish with scallions (optional).  I like to serve this with blanches asparagus, steamed broccoli or sautéed spinach with minced garlic.
    We’re having it with brown rice and sautéed spinach (in olive oil, garlic and salt).
