Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz each Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 2 tbsp White miso paste
- 1 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour (but no longer to prevent overpowering the salmon flavor).
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the fillets on the prepared baking tray, skin-side down.
Broil the salmon on the middle rack for about 6–8 minutes, or until the top is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly dish!
