Another yum recipe !

BROILED SALMON WITH MISO GLAZE

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon miso paste, white
  • 2 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, reduced-sodium, or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon ginger root, minced
  • 1 1/4 pounds fish, salmon fillet, center cut, cut into 4 portions
  • 2 tablespoon scallion(s) (green onions), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro, fresh, or parsley

Preparation

Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil. Coat foil with cooking spray.

Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

Whisk miso, mirin, soy sauce (or tamari), ginger and a few drops of hot pepper sauce in a small bowl until smooth.

Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the prepared pan. Brush generously with the miso mixture. Broil salmon, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, until opaque in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.

Transfer the salmon to warmed plates and garnish with the reserved sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro (or parsley).

Ingredient note: Miso paste, mirin and tamari are available in health-food stores and Asian markets.

Other good fish sources of omega-3s are albacore tuna, sardines, rainbow trout and Pacific cod.
