This recipe is lovely presented as one large fillet but smaller individual sized portions also work well.
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
Grilling Instructions
- Preheat BBQ.
- In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Microwave about 30 seconds, and whisk well.
- 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.
- Grill until cooked through. Using two metal spatulas, lift the fish to a platter. Serve hot.
Oven Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Grease the foil.
- In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Microwave about 30 seconds, and whisk well.
- 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.
- 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.
