Description

A Japanese-style broiled miso salmon just like you'll find at a restaurant. This easy recipe is full of flavor. Serve with white rice and salad.

Ingredients

2 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillets, skin removed
1 cup miso paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup prepared soy-ginger salad dressing
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Poach fish just until cooked on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a broiler pan.
3 Stir together miso paste, brown sugar, salad dressing, sake, water, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Spread over the tops of the salmon fillets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.
