What’s in Miso Glazed Salmon?
Made from fermented soybeans, Miso paste is a traditional Japanese ingredient that adds savory, umami flavor to a variety of dishes. Baked and broiled salmon fillets glazed with the sweetened miso and mirin sauce are easy to make in about 25 minutes.
Salmon: Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is healthy, delicious, and versatile — always pairing well with a wide range of spices. Miso: White miso is lighter in color and milder in flavor than other types of miso, such as red or brown miso. It has a slightly sweet, salty taste and a smooth, creamy texture. Mirin: Mirin is a type of sweet, low-alcohol Japanese cooking wine, which you will often find near the cooking wines and vinegars in the supermarket. Brown Sugar: Brown sugar gets its soft and extra-carmelized depth from molasses. Soy Sauce: Soy sauce, made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, adds depth of flavor and a distinct savory taste to any Asian-inspired food recipe. Sesame Oil: Sesame oil has a rich, nutty flavor and aroma that adds a distinct dimension to any Asian-inspired recipe. Sesame Seeds: Small, nutty, and crunchy sesame seeds add a rich, distinctive flavor to any recipe. Green Onions: Green onions, also known as scallions, are a type of onion that is mild and slightly sweet, making them a versatile ingredient in cooking.
