4-Ingredient Salmon With Miso Glaze

Miso-glazed salmon is a restaurant staple that people are often surprised to discover they can replicate at home in 15 minutes for a fraction of the cost. The glaze does all the work โ€” it caramelizes under the broiler, adds deep umami, and keeps the fish from drying out. Four ingredients, zero technique required.

What You Need

  • 2 salmon fillets, about 6oz each
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or sake

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Whisk miso, honey, and vinegar together into a smooth paste. Spread generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.

  2. 2

    Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the glazed salmon on it.

  3. 3

    Broil 8โ€“10 minutes until the glaze is deeply caramelized and the salmon is just cooked through โ€” it should flake when pressed gently in the thickest part. No flipping required.
