Miso Salmon

Japanese style-broiled salmon just like the restaurants. Easy recipe I came up with at the request of my family. Serve with sticky white rice and a light salad.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• ¼ cup sake
• 1 cup miso paste
• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillets, skin removed
• ½ cup prepared soy-ginger salad dressing

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 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.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the miso paste, sake, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, water, salad dressing and rice vinegar. Spread this over the tops of the salmon fillets.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until almost cooked through. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.
