Recipe Notes

Olive Oil: Helps the salmon brown and ensures that we get a crisp exterior and juicy interior. Feel free to swap the olive oil for your favorite cooking oil (grapeseed, avocado, etc.). Miso Paste: Adds a rich umami flavor to the salmon. I’m using red miso but white miso would work too. Soy Sauce: Adds additional umami flavor as well as saltiness. I recommend using low sodium so you can control the salt! Garlic and Ginger: Classic flavor pairings with miso and soy. I recommend grating (on a Microplane) them so they incorporate more smoothly into the sauce. Salmon: This recipe is for salmon filets that are approximately 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 6 inches long. Keep in mind that smaller pieces of salmon will cook more quickly and larger pieces may take longer. Vegetables: I love carrots and snap peas with salmon, but you could use any vegetable you like— broccoli, bok choy, etc.

Serving Suggestions

As it is, this miso salmon is a great full meal all by itself. If you prefer, you can cook the salmon separately and swap out the side dishes for other favorites instead. Try it with:
