Outstanding

A sweet-salty miso, brown sugar, and soy sauce glaze caramelizes in about 10 minutes as it cooks atop this rich, meaty salmon.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup  packed brown sugar
  • 2  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  hot water
  • 2  tablespoons  miso (soybean paste)
  • 4  (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Arrange fish in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon miso mixture evenly over fish.

Broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting twice with miso mixture. Sprinkle with chives.

I couldn't find the miso either - so I did what another reviewer suggested and used Hoisin sauce instead - It was still very good (I thought it was a little on the sweet side though). I also only used 1 T of water after reading the reviews. I served it over brown rice and drizzled a little of the sauce over the rice too.02/03/10

Delicious and so easy. I only used 1 tbsp of water since other reviewers said it was a bit runny and basted it twice during the broiling process. I had thick salmon though so ended up broiling it for closer to 16 min. After dishing it up, I used some of the sauce in the bottom of the pan to top the filets. My mom and her husband devoured it.01/27/10
