Miso Maple Glazed Salmon
Description
The Miso Maple Glazed Salmon recipe uses a blend of miso paste, pure maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and a hint of sesame oil to create a balanced glaze that coats the salmon fillets. Baking the fish at a high temperature cooks it through gently, while a final broil chars spots of the glaze for a slightly smoky and caramelized effect. The cooking method preserves the salmon's tender, moist interior while adding a thin, flavorful exterior layer. Garnishing with sesame seeds and chopped scallions enhances both the presentation and taste with subtle crunch and freshness. Watching the broiler closely prevents the glaze from burning, ensuring a perfect finish. Testing the doneness by gently pressing the flesh confirms a flaky texture that signifies proper cooking. This dish stands well on its own or alongside rice or steamed vegetables for a simple, elegant meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons miso paste any type
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce low sodium, or tamari if gluten free
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 salmon fillet about 5 ounces each
- sesame seeds optional garnishes, scallions chopped
- scallions optional garnishes, scallions chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix the miso paste, maple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil together in a bowl until smooth. If needed, add a small amount of water.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush the glaze on top of the salmon. Place the baking sheet on the top rack in the oven and cook 8-10 minutes until salmon is just cooked through. Turn the broiler on high and broil the salmon for another 2 minutes until it is browned in spots. Garnish salmon with sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.
Notes
- Monitor the salmon closely during broiling to prevent the miso glaze from burning.
- Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup after glazing and broiling the fish.
- The salmon is perfectly cooked when the flesh flakes easily under gentle pressure with a fork.
