Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 tsp Ginger, Fresh Root
- •2 tbsp Miso Paste, White
- •1 tsp Sesame Oil, Toasted
- •1 tbsp Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
- •2 tsp Vinegar, Rice, Seasoned
- •1 tbsp Brown sugar
- •1 lbs Salmon
- •2 Green Onion (Scallion)(30g)

Instructions
- 1Mince the fresh ginger finely. In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger, white miso paste, toasted sesame oil, low-sodium soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth and combined.
- 2Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Place the salmon skin-side up in a shallow dish and spoon the miso glaze over each fillet, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- 3Preheat your broiler to high with a rack positioned in the top third of the oven.
- 4Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess glaze to drip back into the dish. Arrange the salmon skin-side down on a rimmed sheet pan lined with foil.
- 5Broil over high heat for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are crisp and golden and the salmon flakes easily with a fork when tested at the thickest part—internal temperature should reach 145°F.
- 6While the salmon cooks, slice the green onions and measure out the sesame seeds.
- 7Divide the miso glazed salmon evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Top each portion with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- 8Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing, then refrigerate for up to 4 days.
