- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic to make the miso glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the miso glaze over the top, turning to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes.

Miso glazed salmon is a popular Japanese dish that has gained worldwide acclaim for its delicious flavors and health benefits. The dish originated in Japan, where miso, a traditional fermented soybean paste, has been a staple ingredient for centuries. The rich umami flavor of miso pairs perfectly with the buttery texture of salmon, creating a mouthwatering combination. Renowned chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa have popularized miso glazed salmon in their restaurants, showcasing the dish's versatility and appeal. The dish has also made its way into the menus of top restaurants in cities like New York, Tokyo, and London, where it is often prepared with a fusion twist, incorporating local ingredients and culinary techniques. The key to a perfect miso glazed salmon lies in the balance of flavors and the precise cooking method. The marinade, typically made with miso, mirin, sake, and sugar, should be carefully applied to the salmon to achieve a caramelized glaze when broiled or grilled. The result is a succulent and flavorful dish that has become a favorite among seafood enthusiasts. For those seeking the best version of this dish, renowned Japanese restaurants and sushi bars are often the go-to places. However, with the right ingredients and technique, home cooks can also create an exceptional miso glazed salmon that rivals those found in top dining establishments. Whether enjoyed in a high-end restaurant or homemade with care, miso glazed salmon continues to captivate food lovers with its exquisite taste and cultural significance.
