Directions
In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to form a smooth sauce.
Place the salmon fillets in a dish and pour the miso mixture over it. Ensure all sides of the salmon are covered in the sauce.
Cover the dish and marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. If time allows, marinate for 2-3 hours to let the flavors fully infuse.
Preheat your grill or oven broiler. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Grill or broil the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until your preferred doneness.
Serve the miso salmon hot with steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions.
