Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) salmon fillet, skinless
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp miso paste
- 6 Tbsp honey
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, miso paste, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon filet in a Ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, seal the bag, and ensure the filet is well coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
- Prepare for Cooking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Create a ‘boat’ out of aluminum foil or line a baking pan with foil.
- Sear the Salmon: Heat a heavy pan with a small amount of peanut oil over high heat. Once hot, sear the top of the salmon for 30 seconds to 1 minute until a crust forms.
- Bake the Salmon: Transfer the seared salmon to the aluminum foil, crust side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, basting with sauce halfway through.
- Reduce the Sauce: Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced.
Notes
- Adjust searing time based on your pan and stove; check after 30 seconds to avoid over-crisping.
- Ensure the salmon is marinated well for the best flavor.
