Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Toast sesame seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Watch them closely and remove from heat once sesame seeds are a golden brown. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, ginger, and honey in a small bowl. Mix well. Stir in toasted sesame seeds.

Step 3

Coat salmon well in the miso sauce and place skin-side up on the baking pan.

Step 4

Broil in the preheated oven, watching closely, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking pan with foil and lightly grease with oil.
