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.

- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

Could you make this recipe using red miso?
I have some of that on hand.
Thank you
The recipe sounds delish!
Yes! Red Miso should work just fine.
