Name: Broiled Miso Ginger Salmon Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 2 lbs salmon ((cut into 6 fillets)); 1/4 cup white miso ((fermented soybean paste)); 1/4 cup rice vinegar; 1/4 cup mirin; 2 garlic cloves ((minced)); 2 tsp toasted sesame oil; 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce; 1 tbsp ginger ((minced))

This Miso Ginger Salmon is one of my most favorite dishes at a local Japanese restaurant. It’s the perfect blend of salty and tangy and works like a dream with the slightly sweet and smoky salmon. Ideally, I’d cook this on a grill, but when I’m too busy (or lazy) to head out to my grill, a simple broiling in the oven works fantastically!

I love giving the fish a nice charred edge, and marinating the salmon beforehand really helps give it excellent flavor. Serve over steamed rice alongside some roasted vegetables or your favorite Asian-style salad.
