Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them on the preheated grill, skin-side down if desired, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the grilled miso-glazed salmon to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve this mouthwatering dish alongside steamed rice or a fresh, crisp salad for a complete and unforgettable meal. The harmonious blend of flavors will transport your senses to a world of culinary bliss, leaving you craving for more with every bite.
