Broiled Miso-Glazed Salmon balances sweet, salty, and umami notes with a caramelized miso-brown sugar crust and a hint of sesame. The fish stays tender and flaky, with a soy-ginger glaze that pairs perfectly with steamed rice and crisp greens. Ideal for a weeknight dinner or an elegant yet unfussy meal with friends.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Poach the fish just until the outside is cooked, about 2 minutes per side. Move the fillets to a broiler pan.
3

In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, brown sugar, salad dressing, sake, water, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Spread this over the tops of the salmon fillets.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until nearly cooked through, about 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 00:05:00. Cut the fillets into portions to serve.
