Description

Chef John's miso maple-glazed salmon recipe uses salty, savory yellow miso paste, sweet maple syrup, seasoned rice wine vinegar, and Sriracha hot sauce.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons yellow miso paste
1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha®)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 (6 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin

Directions

1 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush an oven-safe skillet with vegetable oil.
2 Whisk miso paste, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, and hot chili sauce together in a bowl.
3 Arrange salmon fillets, skin-sides down, in the prepared skillet. Place skillet over medium heat; cook until skin starts to sizzle, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
4 Brush salmon fillets with miso glaze. Place skillet in the preheated broiler; cook until salmon is just cooked through and top is browned, about 8 minutes.
5 Remove fillets from skillet, separating flesh from skins; leave skins in the pan.
