Description

This 5-Ingredient Miso-Glazed Salmon recipe is a quick and flavorful dish featuring red miso for a bold, distinct taste. Perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner, the salmon is broiled to tender perfection and pairs beautifully with steamed broccolini and brown rice. Simple yet packed with umami, it's easy to double for guests without extra cooking time.

Ingredients

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons red miso
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus wedges for serving
  • 2 teaspoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Salmon

  • 4 (5-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, patted dry

Optional Garnish

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Set your oven rack about 7 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the miso glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together red miso, lime juice, lower-sodium soy sauce, ground pepper, and honey until smooth and well combined. This mixture will give the salmon a rich umami flavor with a hint of sweetness and tang.
  3. Arrange the salmon. Place the skin-on salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Make sure the fillets are spaced evenly to ensure even cooking.
  4. Apply the glaze. Spoon the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, covering them thoroughly to lock in flavor as they broil.
  5. Broil the salmon. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fillets for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through, keeping an eye to avoid burning the glaze.
  6. Garnish and serve. Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side and accompany with steamed broccolini and brown rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use skin-on salmon fillets to help keep the fish moist while broiling.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Steamed broccolini and brown rice make excellent side dishes to complement the miso-glazed salmon.
  • This recipe is easy to double or triple, making it perfect for entertaining guests.
  • If you prefer a less intense miso flavor, you can use white miso but note it will be milder.
  • Be attentive when broiling to avoid charring the glaze; adjust the rack height if necessary.
