How to Make Miso Glazed Salmon

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  3. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) in the dish.
  4. Spoon the miso mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon with the remaining miso mixture halfway through broiling.
  6. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives before serving.
