Miso Salmon Recipe
Description
The Miso Salmon Recipe uses a marinade combining white miso paste, mirin, crushed garlic, and grated ginger. Salmon portions, preferably wild with skin on, are placed flesh-side down in the marinade and then covered and refrigerated for at least six hours or overnight. This slow marinating process infuses the salmon with the distinctive salty-sweet umami flavor from the miso and the mild heat of the ginger and garlic.
For cooking, the marinated salmon is broiled on a foil-lined sheet pan until it flakes easily, developing a lightly caramelized top. The skin can be removed before serving if preferred, adding a silky texture contrast. Garnishing with sliced scallions adds freshness and mild pungency to the dish.
This preparation works well as a flavorful main that pairs well with steamed rice and vegetables or simple side salads. The marinade can be discarded after removing the fish to avoid any bitterness from overcooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon cut into 4 equal portions, or you can use cod, sea bass, black cod, trout or arctic char, skin-on, wild
- 1/4 cup white miso (available at amazon, or Asian, gourmet markets)
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 2 garlic crushed, cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 scallion (green parts only, thinly sliced)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine miso, mirin, garlic and ginger.
- Pour 1/4 of the marinade in a shallow dish or glass pie plate, place fish flesh-side down, and top with remaining marinade. Cover with plastic and place in refrigerator, allow to marinate at least 6 hours or as long as overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat oven to broil on high.
- Transfer salmon to a sheet pan lined with foil. Discard excess marinade.
- Place fish on the second rack from the top and broil 6-7 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- If you wish to serve the fish without the skin, carefully slide a fish spatula between the skin and flesh.
- Garnish with scallions and serve.
