Miso Glazed Salmon
An easy, inexpensive (this was under 25$ for 5 people) and impressive dish for guests! Nothing says I know what the heck I'm doing like perfectly cooked fish! I don't have a picture of this because my guests (including one who protesteth that he doesn't eat fish) devoured it before I could grab the camera.
2 lbs salmon filet (remove the skin if you want to, I like keeping the skin to prevent the fish from falling apart when I place it on the serving platter)
Glaze
2 tbsps yellow miso paste
2 tbsps brown sugar
juice of 1 lemon
4 tbsps soya sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
Prepare the salmon, clean the flesh and skin with cold water (not a required step, just my preference), then pat dry. Take a pair of clean tweezers and remove the pin bones. If you run your fingers up the middle part of the thickest part of the flesh of the salmon you will feel the ends of them sticking up, pull them out with the tweezers by gently wiggling it up and out, pulling towards the "head" of the salmon filet. Double check because these bones can be nasty to choke on!
Put the salmon on a large rimmed, but shallow, baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
Mix the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the salmon and spread it out to cover it from head to tail.
Broil for 8-12 minutes depending on your preferred doneness.
