Ingredients
- 4 oz each Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 2 tbsp White miso paste
- 1 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil until smooth.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour (but no longer to prevent overpowering the salmon flavor).
Step 3
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the fillets on the prepared baking tray, skin-side down.
Step 5
Broil the salmon on the middle rack for about 6–8 minutes, or until the top is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly dish!
