This easy miso glazed salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon fillets coated in a savory-sweet miso glaze, broiled for crispy edges and served over fresh greens. It’s a quick, comforting dinner that feels fancy but comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste (shiro miso)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 4 cups mixed fresh greens (arugula, baby spinach, or blend)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. For extra crispy edges, place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on prepared pan.
  4. Brush or spoon a generous layer of miso glaze over each fillet, reserving a little glaze for broiling.
  5. Bake salmon for 10-12 minutes, until opaque on the sides and just barely translucent in the center. Add 2 minutes for thick fillets.
  6. Switch oven to broil (high). Move baking sheet to top rack. Brush salmon with remaining glaze and broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely until glaze bubbles and edges darken slightly.
  7. Arrange fresh greens on plates. Place salmon fillets on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Add lemon wedges for squeezing.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Drizzle any pan juices over greens if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon very dry for crispiness. Use a wire rack for extra crispy edges. Watch closely while broiling to avoid burning. Tamari makes this gluten-free. The miso glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated. Adjust glaze sweetness or umami to taste. Leftovers are great in rice bowls or wraps.
