Miso-Sesame Glaze
Holiday 2018
This Asian-inspired glaze is the perfect way to lacquer up a large piece of salmon, but slather it, too, on smaller pieces of fish, like halibut or cod fillets, or on pork chops and skinless chicken breasts.
Makes ¾ cup (175 mL); enough for one 4-lb (2-kg) piece of salmon
½ cup (125 mL) white miso paste
3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar
3 tbsp (45 mL) dry sherry
1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame oil
¼ tsp (1 mL) cayenne
4 lb (1.81 kg) piece boneless salmon fillet
3 tbsp (45 mL) lightly toasted sesame seeds
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together miso paste, sugar, sherry, sesame oil and cayenne until smooth.
2. Place salmon on a large parchmentpaper-lined baking sheet. Spread miso mixture evenly over salmon. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
4. Sprinkle salmon evenly with sesame seeds. Roast salmon until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 125°F (52°C) and glaze at edges of salmon is starting to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
