Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

What type of miso should I use for this recipe?

You can use any type of miso, but white miso (shiro miso) is commonly recommended for this recipe because it has a milder and slightly sweeter flavor compared to red or yellow miso. White miso pairs well with the delicate flavor of salmon.

What ingredients are typically used in the miso marinade?

The miso marinade usually consists of white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), rice vinegar, and a sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar. Some recipes also include garlic, ginger, or sesame oil for added flavor.

How long should I marinate the salmon?

Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours. The miso marinade is quite salty, so extended marination can result in overly salty fish. Marinating for a short time allows the flavors to penetrate without overpowering the salmon.

Can I bake or broil the miso salmon?

Yes, you can either bake or broil the miso salmon.

Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Broiling: Place the salmon under the broiler for 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, as the sugar in the marinade can caramelize quickly.

How do I prevent the marinade from burning during cooking?

To prevent the marinade from burning, make sure to lightly wipe off any excess marinade from the salmon before cooking. You can also cover the salmon with foil for the first part of baking and then remove the foil in the last few minutes to brown the top.
