Miso Maple Glazed Salmon

Miso maple glazed salmon is a perfectly balanced dish that combines the richness of salmon with a sweet and savory glaze made from miso paste, maple syrup, and soy sauce. The result is a tender, flavorful fish with a slightly caramelized top. This dish is quick to prepare, making it an ideal choice for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Serve it over grains or with vegetables for a complete meal.

Quick tip: Broiling the salmon at the end adds a perfect crispy finish to the glaze!

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and black pepper until smooth.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the miso maple glaze.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a caramelized glaze on top.
Optionally, broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization.
Serve immediately with your bowl components!
