While browsing for a new way to make fish I came across this recipe for miso-glazed salmon. It was very quick and easy to make and came out super tasty. The glaze caramelizes and is really flavorful without overwhelming the salmon. Here’s a video of the preparation techniques, if you need a bit more confidence in the kitchen.

To make it a meal, I made some gyoza and edamame and Dallas made rice. The only downside of making the miso-glazed salmon was that I had to buy this whole 12 ounce package of miso when the recipe only needed 2 tablespoons. I guess it’s an opportunity to find some more miso recipes.

Miso-Glazed Salmon

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons hot water
2 tablespoons miso (soybean paste)
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Preparation
Preheat broiler.

Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Arrange fish in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon miso mixture evenly over fish.

Broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting twice with miso mixture. Sprinkle with chives.
