What Is Miso Salmon
Miso salmon is an amazing recipe where you can use just a little bit of miso and make your regular and everyday salmon into something absolutely delicious. White miso is the mildest version of miso in Japanese cooking, the others being red miso (darker and more pungent and intense in taste) and mixed miso. Personally, I love white miso the most for its subtle and sweet taste. If you are not familiar with miso, just think of it as the base of Japanese miso soup, or the grainy bits made from fermented soy beans. Therefore, if miso is a new ingredient for you, I suggest you start with white miso.

A little bit of miso in any savory dish is bound to make the dish even better – the so-called “umami” so profound in Japanese cuisine. Above all, to make the miso glaze, you only need 3 basic ingredients. You can find them at any Asian store, as they are really common:
White miso (usually comes in a small plastic tub) and, as its name suggests, white miso looks pale yellowish white, the lightest in color. Its other name is shiromiso. Mirin, which is Japanese sweet seasoning wine Rice vinegar
In addition, if you are unsure of which brand to buy, I strongly recommend Mizkan, which is what I use. Please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for full details on each ingredients.
