This Miso Glazed Salmon recipe is so easy – there are just three ingredients. Salmon is rich in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids and is part of a healthy Mediterranean Diet. 237 calories/serving; 3 Freestyle points.

For years, I did not cook fish because I didn’t know how to. Instead, I would order it when we ate out. Little did I realize how easy it is to prepare fresh fish. The key is to buy the freshest fish you can get your hands on.

Miso Glazed Salmon is one of the first successful fish dishes I learned to make, and it’s still one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy. The recipe I’m sharing today has just three ingredients in the marinade – miso, maple syrup and rice wine. If you like, you can add some minced ginger and mirin for even more flavor.

The trick is to marinade the fish overnight – the next day, you just broil the marinated fish and dinner is ready in 15 minutes. All you need is a nice green salad to go with this. A bowl of steamed rice would be nice too (I usually make a big pot at the beginning of the week and just reheat as I need).

Do you like my little cucumber and red chili garnishes? I was playing around with a few garnishing tools I found in the back of one of my cabinets. The little garnishes make this simple presentation look a little fancier don’t you think?

    Jeanette, I have had the same problem with not knowing how to cook fish. It can be very tricky.

    My biggest problem is always worrying that I am going to undercook it, which often means that I end up overcooking it.

    Another problem I have is not always knowing how to season it. I find that fish can be a bit bland at times. The proper seasoning can be very tricky.

    This marinade seems simple and delicious. I am definitely going to have to try it soon. I also love your idea to cook a batch of white rice on the weekend and heat it up during the week!

    Miso and salmon are such a good combination. Another good addition is the tiniest bit of Sriracha.

    I grew up eating many kinds of fish but salmon is always my favorite. My kids have the same gene as me, so we eat salmon quite often. I love miso + salmon combination! I’ve never tried miso + maple for salmon yet, and I will definitely give this a try!

    It took me a long time to have the confidence to cook fish, but it’s so easy once you get used to it. I over cooked it when I was younger, which I think is what made it seem so hard!

      Carolyn – isn’t it funny how easy fish is to cook? I used to only eat fish when I ate out, but now that I realize how easy it is to make (and how much less expensive it is to make at home), I make it a lot more at home + it’s so good for you.
