1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
-
1 teaspoon

Directions

Marinate the salmon by first putting the fillets in a shallow dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
-
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mirin, miso, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
-
Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, turning them to coat on both sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or as long as overnight
-
About half an hour before serving time, preheat the broiler.
-
Transfer the salmon fillets to a broiler pan or baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Place them under the broiler and cook until nicely browned and barely cooked through in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side (if the broiler is on high) or 6-7 minutes per side (if the broiler is on low) .. depending on thickness, turning them carefully with a spatula half way through.
-
Serve as a whole fillet with your favorite vegetable side .. or shred & incorporate as a protein source into anything from omelets to salads.
