- 1/2 cup light-brown sugar, packed, plus one 1 teaspoon
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine miso, vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until miso and sugar have dissolved; cool to room temperature. In a resealable plastic bag combine salmon and miso mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Heat broiler with the rack in the highest position. Lift salmon from marinade; broil salmon until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve with cilantro sauce.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was AMAZING! It couldn't have been easier to cook, and served with brown rice it was a quick and healthy meal.
this was disgusting... way way way too salty.
What can I substitute for flaxseed oil?
seems not so healthy with all that sugar... possible to substitute with maple syrup or...
Miso is normally made of soybeans. You can find it in the foreign food section of your local grocery store. It should be in the Asian food section, since it is primarily used in Japanese dishes.
First what is Miso and where do I find it at the store? 2nd.. your ad for a free trial of the magazine is in the wrong spot of the descripion. It is hard to read. I will make this as soon as I learn what Miso is Thank You
