This Slow-Roasted Miso Salmon is rich, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The gentle roasting allows the miso glaze to caramelize

beautifully while keeping the salmon moist and silky. Simple, elegant, and packed with umami flavor.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup white miso paste

• ¼ cup mirin

• 2 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• 1½ lb skin-on salmon fillet, pin bones removed

• Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

• Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. Make the Miso Glaze

• In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, sesame oil, and salt until smooth and glossy.

3. Prepare the Salmon

• Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

• Spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of the salmon.

4. Slow Roast

• Roast uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

• The glaze should look slightly caramelized but not burnt.

5. Optional Broil (For Extra Color)

• For deeper caramelization, broil on high for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

6. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

• Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

• Steamed jasmine or sushi rice

• Sautéed bok choy or spinach
