Miso Glazed Salmon

Print Recipe

Miso Glazed Salmon is a simple yet elegant dish featuring tender salmon fillets coated in a savory-sweet miso glaze. The umami-rich glaze caramelizes perfectly in the oven, creating a beautifully balanced flavor with hints of soy, ginger, and honey perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic until smooth.
  • 3. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush generously with the miso glaze.
  • 4. Let the salmon marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows for deeper flavor.
  • 5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
  • 6. Optionally, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra browning.
  • 7. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice, sautéed greens, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Miso glaze can also be used for tofu, chicken, or roasted eggplant.
