Miso Baked Salmon
This miso-baked salmon is salty and sweet, with a deep umami flavor. The salmon, coated with a sweet marinade, is baked instead of broiled, preventing the marinade from burning on top. Fresh scallions round out the flavor.
Ingredients
-
⅓ cup dry sherry
-
¼ cup white miso
-
3 tablespoons pineapple juice
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
-
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
-
4 (5 ounce) skinless wild-caught salmon fillets
-
¼ cup sliced scallions
Description
- Whisk sherry, miso, pineapple juice, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil and garlic powder together in a shallow dish until smooth. Add salmon fillets, turning to coat with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, position rack in center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat evenly with cooking spray.
-
Pat the salmon dry and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the remaining marinade.
-
Bake on the center rack until firm to the touch and opaque, about 10 minutes.
-
Increase oven temperature to 450°F and remove the salmon from the oven. Brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade. (Discard remaining marinade.) Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 140°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions.
