This miso glazed salmon is a quick, flavor-packed dinner featuring sweet-savory miso glaze, toasted sesame oil, and fresh green onion. It’s restaurant-worthy, easy to make, and perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or off)
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2–3 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado or canola)
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges, chili flakes, furikake

Instructions

  1. Remove salmon from the fridge 15 minutes ahead to bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400°F and set rack about 6 inches below broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and brush with neutral oil.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth and glossy.
  4. Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spoon half the miso glaze over the top and sides of each fillet.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until salmon is almost cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center.
  6. Remove baking sheet, brush remaining miso glaze over salmon, and broil for 2–3 minutes until glaze bubbles and caramelizes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer salmon to plates. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Garnish with lime wedges, chili flakes, or furikake if desired.
  8. Serve hot, with extra glaze drizzled on top.

Notes

Pat salmon dry for best caramelization. Watch the broiler closely as the glaze can burn quickly. Use tamari for gluten-free, and swap honey for monk fruit syrup for low-carb. Leftover glaze is great on rice or veggies. Salmon is best served hot, but leftovers make excellent rice bowls or salads.
