Cooking Directions

Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil. Coat foil with cooking spray.
Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
Whisk miso, mirin, soy sauce (or tamari), ginger and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the prepared pan. Brush generously with the miso mixture. Broil salmon, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, until opaque in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.
Transfer the salmon to warmed plates and garnish with the reserved sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro (or parsley).

3. Still Hungry?

Versatile miso (fermented soybean paste) keeps for months in the refrigerator and adds instant flavor to soups, sauces, dips, marinades and salad dressings. In general, the lighter the miso, the milder and sweeter its flavor. Light miso is the key to the wonderful flavor of this salmon.

Notes:

Ingredient note

Miso paste, mirin and tamari are available in health-food stores and Asian markets. Other good fish sources of omega-3 are albacore tuna, mackerel, sardines, lake trout and cod.

Very tasty and easy

The hardest part about this recipe is assembling the ingredients. Once you've done that, it's 10 minutes til completion. I found the mixture a little sweet so added a bit more tamari and hot pepper sauce to balance it to my taste. Will definitely make it again!
