    2 tbsp
  • skinless salmon fillets

    5 to 6 ounce pieces

    4
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • green onions
    2 tbsp
  • sesame seeds
    ½ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat Oven - Set the oven rack to the lowest position. Heat on the high broil setting. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Lightly drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze - In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, miso, hot water, and soy sauce. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Glaze the Salmon - Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Arrange them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or brush about 1 tablespoon of miso glaze over the surface and sides of each fillet. Reserve the remaining glaze.

  4. 4

    Broil - Broil the salmon on the lowest rack for 5 minutes. Remove and add more glaze to the surface. Broil for 3 minutes, then glaze one more time. Broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature reaches between 135 to 140ºF (57 to 60ºC) on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes depending on thickness.

  5. 5

    Serve - Transfer to a serving platter or dish. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
