How to Make Salmon Miso Yaki Weight Watcher Friendly 7 Points

  1. Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently warm 2 tablespoons of miso paste, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger over low heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Brush both sides of the salmon fillets (about 6 oz total) generously with the miso glaze.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired.
