Miso-Marinated Salmon

Marinate the salmon by first putting the fillets in a shallow dish that’s large enough to hold them in a single layer.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mirin, miso, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, turning them to coat on both sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or as long as overnight.

About half an hour before serving time, preheat the broiler.

Transfer the salmon fillets to a broiler pan or baking dish that’s large enough to hold them in a single layer. Place them under the broiler and cook until nicely browned and barely cooked through in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side (if the broiler is on high) or 6-7 minutes per side (if the broiler is on low). Broil time will depend on your oven and fish thickness. Make sure to turn them carefully with a spatula halfway through the cook time.

This idea came from Shape Magazine’s March 2014 issue.
