Broiled Salmon With Miso

serves 2
Recipe from cookthink

Be sure to spread just a very thin layer of miso paste across the salmon. Too much will overpower the clean flavor of the fish. What you want instead is a rich, salty crust to the salmon. We prefer a lighter white miso, but a darker paste will work just as well.

instructions

1. Preheat the broiler to high and place a baking sheet on a rack 6-8 inches from the heat source. Dab the salmon with a paper towel to dry. Season with pepper on both sides. Spread a very thin layer of miso on the tops of the filets.

2. Lightly oil the preheated baking sheet. Place the fish on the baking sheet, miso-side up, and broil until the salmon is slightly translucent in the thickest part, 6-8 minutes.
