Simple Miso Glazed Salmon
This tender salmon has a sweet and savory glaze that tastes even better than your favorite restaurant meal.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a piece of salmon that flakes apart perfectly with a fork. I love this recipe because the miso creates a beautiful caramelized crust on the outside while keeping the fish inside moist and delicious.
It is truly one of my favorite weeknight meals because it comes together so quickly without any fuss. If you are serving this for a family dinner, it pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice and a side of garlicky bok choy.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet skin side down.

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. When reheating, use a low heat in a skillet or oven to keep the fish from drying out. You can also serve the chilled salmon flaked over a fresh green salad for a quick lunch the next day.
