Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush the miso glaze generously over the flesh side of each fillet.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
