Japanese side dishes are a natural complement to this recipe. The go-to starch would be a bowl of sticky rice drizzled with sauce from the pan. These refreshing soba noodles would also be an excellent accompaniment. For veggies, try a cucumber salad or some spicy edamame.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients until smooth. Place salmon in a large shallow dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour miso mixture over salmon. Refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon, skin side down, in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 10 minutes. Preheat broiler; broil until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 2-5 minutes.
