5-Minute Miso-Glazed Toaster Oven Salmon
Miso, sake, soy sauce and sugar make a savory-sweet glaze for broiled salmon with charred edges and a tender center.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup red or white miso
- 1/3 cup sake
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 skinless salmon filets, at least 1 inch thick, 5 to 6 ounces each
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk the miso with the sake, soy sauce, oil, and sugar until smooth. Coat the salmon filets all over with the mixture, getting every side. Tuck the fish into a resealable plastic bag or a sealable container. You can keep going right away, or, for a deeper flavor, let it marinate for about 30 minutes or as long as 2 days.
- Heat the broiler, either in a toaster oven or a regular oven, on high. Line a small broiler pan with aluminum foil. Wipe the extra marinade from the salmon, then set the filets on the prepared pan. Broil until the surface is nicely charred and the center of the fish is just barely warm, about 5 minutes, shielding any spots that look like they may burn with the foil. Bring it to the table right away.
