Miso Baked Salmon

Miso Baked Salmon

Ingredients and Directions

• 2 Tbsp red miso or 3 Tbsp white miso

• 2 Tbsp sake

• 2 Tbsp sugar (less or more to taste)

• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

• 4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets

Mix miso, sake, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl. Adjust proportions to taste. I use gluten free soy sauce it is less salty to me.

Salmon Marinade: Pour half of the mixture into a container large enough to fit the salmon fillets, then pour the rest over the top of the fish. Make sure the fish is coated with the miso sauce. Cover the container and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

Broil the salmon: Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil. Brush a little vegetable oil over the foil and lay the salmon fillets on top. Make sure there is an even, thin coating of marinade on top of the fish.

Place the fillets no closer than about 6 inches from the broiler element in your oven. Broil for 6-10 minutes, depending on how thick the fillets are and how hot your broiler is. Becareful to watch the salmon because the sugar can burn.
