Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz.) portions sockeye or coho salmon
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin or rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- Scallions, sliced (for garnish)
- ¼ cup cilantro (both leaves and tender stems), roughly chopped
- ½ lime
Instructions
1. Whisk maple syrup, miso, tamari, mirin, ginger, sesame oil, and cayenne in a small bowl to combine.
2. Gently pat salmon dry with clean kitchen towel or paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange salmon on a plate or in a large shallow bowl.
3. Pour the mixture on top of the salmon and gently massage the marinade all over the fish. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat broiler.
4. Place the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 6-10 minutes, or until the salmon is slightly caramelized on top and just barely cooked through. Keep checking until the top of the salmon feels fairly firm.
5. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and right before serving, scatter with cilantro and a good squeeze of lime.
