This miso glazed salmon is one of those recipes that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. The simple glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, giving the salmon a slightly sweet, umami-rich crust with a tender flaky center. Plus, it’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
- 4 salmon fillets
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Prep. Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Make the glaze. Stir the garlic, miso paste, brown sugar and soy sauce together in a bowl until smooth.
Bake the salmon. Place the salmon on the baking sheet and spread the miso mixture evenly over the fish. Transfer the salmon to the oven for about 15 minutes, adding additional glaze about halfway through baking.
Garnish and serve. Remove the salmon from the oven with it reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F (the fish should easily flakes with a fork). Top salmon with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
