Ingredients
- 1 pound king salmon fillets
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup miso paste
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- ¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a pie pan with aluminum foil. Place salmon in the prepared pie pan; season with pepper.
- Mix brown sugar, miso, and ginger together in a bowl. Slowly pour in enough soy sauce to reach the consistency of a glaze. Cover salmon with a thick layer of the glaze.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove salmon and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the broiler.
- Broil salmon, checking regularly, until fish flakes easily with a fork and glaze is bubbly and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of soy sauce. The actual amount of soy sauce used will vary.

Reviews
I made it as written except because I was using 2 6-ounce sockeye salmon filets, which are fairly thin and very lean. Instead of baking+broiling I just put them under a 500-degree broiler for 7 minutes. They turned out perfect and flavorful. I served with asparagus (cooked on the same sheet pan with oil, salt & pepper) and wild rice. Love the fact that the prep of everything was quick and easy.
