Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, yuzu juice, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. This is your yuzu-miso glaze.

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray. Spoon or brush the yuzu-miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.

    ~3 min
  4. 4

    Broil the salmon for 8-12 minutes, or until cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly bubbly. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.

    ~10 min
  5. 5

    While the salmon is broiling, lightly toast the nori sheets over a low flame on a stovetop or by briefly placing them in a dry pan until slightly crispy. Be careful not to burn them. Once cooled, crumble them into small flakes.

    ~2 min
  6. 6

    Divide the cooked Japanese rice into serving bowls. Place a glazed salmon fillet on top of each bowl of rice.

    ~1 min
  7. 7

    Sprinkle the crispy nori flakes and toasted sesame seeds over the salmon and rice. Serve immediately.

    ~1 min

Tips

  • For extra crispy nori, you can toast it in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until it becomes fragrant and brittle. Watch it closely as it burns easily.
  • If you don't have yuzu juice, a combination of lemon and lime juice (2 parts lemon to 1 part lime) can be used as a substitute, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
