Description
This easy roast salmon recipe features a delightful Miso-Maple Glaze, offering a satisfying and wholesome dinner without the fuss. It’s a fantastic choice for a quick weeknight family meal, promoting healthier eating and saving money.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (5–6 oz each), skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste (or yellow miso)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon crispy fried shallots, crushed (or fried onions)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season Salmon and Prepare Glaze: Pat salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, water, and toasted sesame oil until smooth.
- Toast Sesame Seeds and Create Crumble: In another small, dry pan over medium-low heat, gently toast the white and black sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer them to a small bowl and mix with the red chili flakes and crushed crispy fried shallots to create the chili-sesame crumble.
- Roast Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), onto your prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for an initial 8 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven. Brush each fillet generously with about half of the miso-maple glaze. Return the salmon to the oven and continue roasting for another 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily (internal temperature 63°C / 145°F).
- Rest Salmon: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest right on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Carefully transfer each glazed fillet to an individual serving plate. Generously sprinkle the chili-sesame crumble over the entire surface of each fillet. Finish with a vibrant scattering of fresh, finely chopped cilantro.
Notes
If salmon dries out, brush with more glaze or water during roasting. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes after glazing, watching carefully. Add more red pepper flakes or Gochujang for a spicy kick. Chives or green onions can substitute cilantro for a different herb twist.
