Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets 
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 tsbp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sesame oil or grated garlic optional for extra flavor

Cranberry Glaze

Instructions

Miso Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, and optional sesame oil or garlic.
  • Pat the salmon dry, coat each fillet with the miso mixture (skin side if keeping skin).
  • Let rest at room temperature for ~15 min or refrigerate in a sealed container up to 1 day.

Cranberry Glaze

  • In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, vinegar, sweetener, and wine or water.
  • Bring gently to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar and reduce slightly, about 5 min until thick enough to coat a spoon Season with salt and pepper.
  • Adjust consistency with water if needed.

Cook the Salmon

  • Preheat broiler or grill to high.
  • Wipe off all but a thin layer of the miso marinade from the salmon (helps prevent burning).
  • roil or grill fillets about 5–10 min (depending on thickness) until miso edges caramelize and fish flakes easily.
  • Use an instant read thermometer: ~125–130°F for medium rare, ~145°F for well done.
  • Spoon or brush the cranberry glaze over the hot salmon just before serving—don’t broil with it, as sugars may burn. Or serve extra on the side for dipping.
