Ingredients

1 ½ pounds - salmon
2 tablespoons - white miso paste
2 tablespoons - mirin
2 tablespoons - maple syrup
1 tbsp - reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tsp - toasted sesame oil
⅛ tsp - black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds
Scallions

Instructions

Place the miso paste, mirin, maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated.
Place the salmon in an 8×8" glass baking dish or a zip top bag. Pour in the marinade and coat the salmon well, then cover and marinate for 30 minutes to one hour at room temperature.
Preheat the broiler. Place the salmon on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet (be sure to use foil as parchment paper will burn under the broiler).
Broil about 6-8" below the broiler for about 5 minutes for up to 1/2" thick, or 8-10 minutes for up to 1" thick, until caramelized and the fat has rendered. All ovens vary, so be sure to keep an eye on the salmon as the marinade can burn easily. If the salmon begins to burn, place on the middle rack of the oven which is further away from the broiler. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and scallions if desired and enjoy!
