Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon skin-on or skinless
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari low-sodium or gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, or sake or water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 scallions chopped
  • toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Make sauce and marinate salmon - Add salmon to a mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, add white miso, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, honey, and hot water. Whisk together until it forms a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce over the salmon until completely coated, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
    1 tablespoon white miso, 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, or sake or water, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon hot water
  • Cut salmon - Remove the salmon from the bowl and reserve the marinade to make a sauce, if desired. Dry the salmon with a paper towel and cut into cubes.

  • Arrange salmon - Turn the broiler on high with the rack positioned 6 inches from the heat and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using foil, be sure to grease it with oil so the salmon doesn’t stick. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet with at least an inch between each piece.
  • Broil salmon - Place the tray of salmon in the oven and broil for 3 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 3 minutes so the salmon skin gets crispy. The salmon will have lightly charred edges and will be medium-rare with an internal temperature between 115 and 120°F. Remove the salmon from the oven.
  • Make optional miso glaze - While the salmon cooks, you can use the remaining miso marinade to make a glaze. Pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so the sugar doesn’t burn. Then cook and stir until the marinade thickens into a glaze, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Serve - Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter or to plates, drizzle with miso glaze, and garnish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Cooking Tips
  • Wrinkle the aluminum foil before lining the baking sheet to prevent the fish from sticking to the foil and make clean up easy.
  • Make sure that you wipe off the marinade thoroughly before you cut the salmon into cubes. If there is too much marinade, it could cause the salmon to burn while in the oven.
    Use a thermometer for the most accurate cooking results. Medium-rare salmon should have an internal temperature between 115°F and 120°F.
