Method
 

How to Make Broiled Miso Salmon
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together white miso paste, granulated sugar, mirin, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger paste until smooth and well combined.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a large container or Ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons for glazing later. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the broiler to high. On a sheet of parchment or aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray and place the salmon skin-side down. Broil for 6-8 minutes, rotating halfway, until the internal temperature hits 120°F (49°C). The salmon should look beautifully caramelized on top.
  4. Brush the fillets with the reserved marinade and serve immediately with garnishes like scallions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.
