The deep, sweet flavor of white miso gives salmon an umami-packed supercharge. Look for containers of refrigerated miso and bottles of mirin in better supermarkets or at Asian markets.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush lightly with vegetable oil. Place salmon steaks on prepared baking sheet. Whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl to blend. Spread half the miso mixture over salmon steaks; season lightly with salt. Turn salmon steaks over and spread with remaining miso mixture; season lightly with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Step 2
Position an oven rack 6"–8"from broiler and preheat. Broil salmon, turning once, until golden brown and just opaque in center, 10–12 minutes total.
Step 3
Transfer salmon steaks to plates and serve with lime wedges.

Back to TopThis had a really delicious flavor. I used fillets and broiled it a couple of minutes less than indicated. I had previously made a different recipe from another source which called for marinating it overnight. It had a good flavor but was leathery. This recipe, marinating it for an hour, was perfect and buttery.

Excellent recipe. We regularly order Miso Cod at a local sushi restaurant, and this was a very similar taste and sweetness - no extra salt needed - it's perfect without it. Exceptional

With a 3-1/2 year old at home, my primary needs in a recipe are: quick/easy, tasty for the adults, but not so crazy that my son won't eat it. This recipe was a winner in all regards.

Delicious on the BBQ. The smokey flavor adds to the miso. I used salmon filets, more ginger than called for, and red miso, and it was excellent.

*shrug* it's nice, but nothing special, though perhaps my Germanic tongue missed the subtleties others rave about. I'll make it again, but I'm in no rush to do so.

Don't bother. There are lots of delicious sesame oil/ginger type marinades that are better. The miso doesn't add anything, in my opinion.

we eat salmon two or more days a week. So, anything that varies it up a bit is welcome. THis is a simple, tasty and quick-prep sauce that my wife and daughter love. PS--I recommend ignoring the extra salt and making sure you use Mirin.

Not sure I would make it again. I did not include the salt and still found this too salty for my liking. My husband liked it though!

This recipe is very easy and is more mellow than you would think. We used it on fillets, rather than steaks so make sure you move around the fish so that the broil cameralizes evenly around the fish.

We love this quick easy salmon dish. It works for fillets as well as for steaks. I use red miso if I am out of white. I definitely agree with others about the salt. Miso adds enough. Great paired with rice and a stir fry.

We love simple grilled salmon but occasionally want a change. This one will definitely go into the repeat file. Great flavor and even easier than grilling. My market didn't have steaks but did have thick fillets formed into the shape of steaks and it worked beautifully, nice and crispy on on the top and bottom and moist on the inside. I also omitted the salt as the miso brings plently.

Delish! Made this with a big one pound slab of salmon steak and it only needed 3 minutes on each side, total of 6 minutes on the broiler at 550 F. Anything more would dry out the salmon and that would be a crime.

Good but not great. I don't see what the big fuss is about miso - it just tastes salty to me. I liked that the recipe was so quick and easy, and the salmon itself was delicious, but the glaze just tasted like very salty ginger. Definitely do not add more salt than what is already in the miso!!
