This bright lemony recipe adds a delicious glaze to a freshly caught salmon. Bake at high heat in the BBQ or the oven to get it bubbly and lightly browned on top. This recipe makes enough for one whole fish which is 2 fillets. If you are doing just one fillet, use the rest of this sauce to make my Miso Baked Oysters or my deluxe salmon sandwich!
1Sockeye Salmon, filleted and debonedor other similar sized salmon, Sockeye are approx 5-6 lbs when whole
½ cJapanese MayonnaiseYou can substitute regular mayonnaise
1tablespoonMiso Paste, I use light miso but any type will work great
1tbsp Mirin (Japanese Cooking Wine)Most grocery stores carry this in their Asian section, if not, substitute 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey.
1tablespoonLemon Juice
1teaspoonLemon Zest
1teaspoonSoy Sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven or BBQ to 400' F
Mix together all ingredients except salmon.
Place salmon fillets skin side down on a baking sheet and then spread miso mixture evenly over both fillets.
Place in oven or BBQ and bake until salmon is just cooked through and top is bubbly and starting to brown, approx 8-10 min. Take care not to overcook your salmon-overcooked salmon is dry salmon.
Remove from oven and serve garnished with extra lemon wedges or freshly chopped chives/green onions.
