This recipe presents a technique for making the best salmon by broiling it to achieve a charred exterior, then using residual oven heat to cook the center to flaky perfection. It features a flavorful citrusy miso marinade.
1. In a bowl, whip up the marinade by combining the miso paste, brown sugar, honey, Sake, light soy sauce, neutral oil, and juice from 1 lime.
2. Toss the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet.
4. Place the salmon under the broiler for 7-10 minutes, watching carefully for charring.
5. After broiling, turn the oven off completely but keep the oven door shut. Allow the residual heat to cook the center of the salmon to a perfect, flaky doneness.
