Ingredients

  • 4 6-oz Salmon fillets
  • 3 tbsp White miso paste
  • 2 tbsp Mirin
  • 2 tbsp Sake
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 2 stalks Green onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk miso, mirin, sake, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger.

    💡 Very high heat to develop deep browning. Do not move the protein until it releases naturally.

  2. 2

    Pat salmon dry. Coat generously with miso mixture.

    💡 Transparent flesh means done. Carryover cooking continues after removing.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

    💡 Work methodically. Attention to detail separates home cooking from restaurant quality.

  4. 4

    Preheat broiler. Line baking sheet with foil.

    💡 Maintain oil temperature - too hot burns, too cool makes greasy food.

  5. 5

    Place salmon skin-side down. Broil 6-8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip and broil 2-3 minutes more until caramelized.
