Miso Maple Glazed Salmon
Miso Maple Glazed Salmon combines the umami-rich depths of miso paste with the sweet, smooth notes of maple syrup, balanced by a touch of rice vinegar and soy sauce. The glaze is brushed onto salmon fillets which are baked then broiled briefly to achieve a caramelized, slightly browned finish. The result is a tender, flaky fish with a glossy, flavorful crust accented by optional sesame seeds and scallions for texture and freshness.

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.
