Easy way to cook Miso-Glazed Grilled Salmon

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Add minced garlic, ginger, and chili flakes (if using) to the miso mixture. Stir to incorporate.
Place salmon fillets in a non-reactive container or large plastic bag. Pour the miso glaze over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place them on the grill pan or grill rack.
Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
While the salmon is cooking, baste it with the remaining miso glaze periodically to ensure even flavor distribution.

Pro version

Pair the dish with steamed jasmine rice for a traditional meal.
Optionally, serve with a side of Miso Soup made with dashi stock and red miso for added depth.
For an extra layer of flavor, add 1 tablespoon of sake to the marinade mixture.

Tips / Plating:

Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon cleanly for presentation.
Opt for pickled vegetables like cucumber and daikon radish for a refreshing crunch.
Drizzle extra miso glaze over the grilled salmon for a polished finish.
Plate the grilled salmon on a minimalist Japanese-style plate.
