Ingredients

1/2 cup miso paste
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. mirin (sweet rice cooking wine) or dry white wine
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
Cooking spray
Chopped scallions or chives, for garnish
Roasted Root Vegetables, for serving, optional

Directions

1. Step 1Combine miso, mayonnaise, mirin, and maple syrup in a large, gallon-sized zip-top bag or a bowl. Add salmon and gently massage to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
2. Step 2Preheat oven to 400ºF with one rack in the middle position and one 6 to 8 inches from the broiler. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet. Remove salmon from marinade and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake, skin-side down, 7 to 10 minutes (the salmon should still be quite rare). Flip salmon, skin side up, and switch oven to broil. Broil until skin is charred and fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with scallions or chives, and serve with Roasted Root Vegetables, if desired, or your favorite side dish.
