What Is Miso Salmon 

Miso Salmon, also called misoyaki salmon or glazed salmon, is traditionally a Japanese dish made with salmon fillets, miso, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and a touch of roasted sesame oil. 

The salmon fillet is marinated in a mixture of miso, sake, mirin, and soy sauce, then baked at 425°F until the internal temperature reaches 125–130°F. 

This Miso Salmon is traditionally served with Ginger Rice or other Japanese side dishes like pickled cucumber and Kinpira Gobo.

Miso Salmon Ingredients

• 2 skin-on salmon fillets (about ½ lb, 227 g per fillet)
• 2 Tbsp miso
• 1 Tbsp sake
• 1 Tbsp mirin
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• ¼ tsp roasted sesame oil

Garnish:

• Toasted black and white sesame seeds
• Chopped green onion

How To Make Miso Salmon

1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, mix miso, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Coat the salmon fillets with this mixture and let them sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This step infuses the fish with flavor.
2. Preheat Your Oven: Turn your oven on and set it to 425°F (218ºC). This ensures your salmon cooks evenly.
3. Prep the Salmon: Take the salmon out of the fridge and remove any excess marinade. This helps to avoid burning.
4. Ready, Set, Bake!: Place your salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake it until the inside is cooked, which is about 18-20 minutes. You’re aiming for an internal temperature of 125–130°F (52–54ºC).
5. Want a Charred Top?: Switch your oven to Broil on High (550ºF/288ºC) and give the salmon a quick 3-minute broil. This step is optional but adds a nice finish.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top of your cooked salmon.

Quick Tips:

• Keep the skin on the salmon to prevent it from overcooking.
• Be careful with the marinade; miso can burn easily.
