Miso Salmon with Ponzu Glaze

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp red miso paste
• 1 tbsp sake
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp yuzu juice (or lemon/lime juice if yuzu is unavailable)
• 1" piece fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp ponzu sauce
• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
• sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare Miso Marinade by combining red miso paste, sake, mirin, soy sauce, yuzu juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic in medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
2. Marinate salmon by placing fillets in shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and covering with miso marinade. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
3. For Ponzu Glaze, combine honey, rice vinegar, and ponzu sauce in small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens, 5–7 minutes; then set aside.
4. Cook salmon by preheating oven to 400° F. Heat vegetable oil in oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade, sear skin-side down for 2–3 minutes until crispy, then transfer skillet to oven and bake for 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
5. After baking, remove salmon from oven, brush with ponzu glaze, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Enjoy your delicious miso salmon with ponzu glaze, a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors!
