Description

A brown sugar, soy, and miso mixture do double duty in this miso salmon dish–first as a marinade and then as a tasty glaze.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon miso paste
2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, hot water, and miso in a large glass or ceramic bowl until thoroughly combined. Add salmon and turn several times to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes, occasionally spooning mixture over fish.
3 Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Leave extra marinade in the bowl.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Uncover, spoon remaining marinade evenly onto the salmon, and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 more minutes.
