Instructions
Make the miso glaze
Whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl until completely smooth. The glaze should be thick but spreadable. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
Marinate the salmon
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish. Spread the miso glaze generously over the flesh side of each fillet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
Prepare the broiler
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Broil the salmon
Remove excess glaze from the salmon so it does not burn too quickly. Place fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and dark in spots and the fish flakes easily.
Garnish and serve
Remove salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with steamed rice and a simple cucumber salad for a complete meal.
