Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together the mirin, miso, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice until smooth. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, making sure they’re well coated, and let them sit for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with a little oil. Once hot, add the salmon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until you get nice grill marks. Take the salmon off the heat and transfer the fillets to a baking sheet. Spoon the leftover marinade over the top of each piece. Pop the salmon into the oven and bake for around 6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, savory flavor of miso with the bright, zesty notes of lime. It’s a perfect balance that makes the salmon taste fresh and exciting. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and packed with healthy ingredients.
How to serve
Serve with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa and a side of sautéed greens like spinach or bok choy. A simple cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar also pairs well to keep the meal light and refreshing.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the salmon. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.
