Miso Salmon Recipe
Miso Salmon features wild skin-on salmon marinated in a mixture of white miso, mirin, garlic, and ginger. The fish absorbs savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavors before being broiled to flaky perfection with a lightly caramelized surface. Garnished with thinly sliced scallions, this recipe highlights a balance of bold umami and gentle sweetness with fresh herbal notes.

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

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.
