This recipe is lovely presented as one large fillet but smaller individual sized portions also work well. 

Miso Glazed Steelhead or Salmon

Ingredients

  • whole steelhead or salmon fillet, skin on
  • 4 tbsp red miso paste
  • 2 tbsp mirin (available in the Asian section of most supermarkets)
  • 2 tbsp sake or shaoshing wine (white wine will also do)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Asian sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Directions

    1. Preheat BBQ.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Microwave about 30 seconds, and whisk well.
    3. Place salmon fillets on a clean baking sheet, skin side down. Dry with a paper towel. Brush generously with the glaze. Save any extra glaze for another use—it’s delicious on vegetables.
    4. Grill until cooked through. Using two metal spatulas, lift the fish to a platter. Serve hot.

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Grease the foil.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Microwave about 30 seconds, and whisk well.
    3. Place salmon fillets on the foil lined baking sheet, skin side down. Brush generously with the glaze. Save any extra glaze for another use—it’s delicious on vegetables.
    4. Once the oven has reached 400°F (200°C), switch to broil mode. Place the baking tray about 8” from the broiler element. Don’t place the fish directly under the broiler - it will burn and cause potential flare-ups from the oils in the fish. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness, until almost fully cooked. Remove from oven. The residual heat will continue to cook the fish to completion. Serve hot.
