Ingredients
  

Salmon:
  • - 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin-on or skinless
  • - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for greasing the pan
Sweet Chili Miso Glaze:
  • - ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
  • - 2 tablespoons white miso paste shiro miso
  • - 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon honey
  • - 2 garlic cloves finely minced
  • - 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Garnish:
  • - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • - 1 fresh lime cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven broiler to HIGH. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet or cast-iron sizzler pan with extra virgin olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, reduced-sodium tamari, and honey until completely smooth and lump-free. Stir in the sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until uniform.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and arrange skin-side down on the prepared baking pan.
  4. Brush half of the prepared glaze generously over the top and sides of each fillet.
  5. Broil for 4 minutes roughly 5-6 inches below the top heat element.
  6. Remove the pan, spoon the remaining thick glaze over each fillet, and return to the broiler for another 3-4 minutes until bubbling, caramelized, and charred on the edges.
  7. Rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle generously with fresh chives and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.

Notes

- Ensure salmon is pat completely dry before glazing to ensure proper caramelization.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your sweet chili sauce is certified gluten-free and use tamari.
- Do not leave the broiler unattended during the final 3 minutes as sugar in honey can burn quickly.
