Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup white miso
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
• 4 salmon steaks (approximately 6 oz each)
• 1 green onion, finely sliced

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Broiler: Start by preheating your broiler to high. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect caramelized glaze on your salmon.

2. Prepare the Broiling Pan: Lightly spray the rack of your broiling pan with nonstick cooking spray. This will prevent the salmon from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

3. Make the Miso Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the white miso, sugar, seasoned rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is fully dissolved and you have a smooth, slightly thickened glaze.

4. Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon steaks on the prepared rack in the broiling pan. Make sure the steaks are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking.

5. Broil the Salmon: Position the broiling pan in the broiler at the closest position to the heat source. Broil the salmon for 5 minutes, allowing it to start cooking and developing a light crust.

6. Apply the Miso Glaze: Carefully remove the pan from the broiler. Spread half of the miso glaze mixture evenly over the top of each salmon steak. Return the pan to the broiler and broil for an additional 1 minute.

7. Flip and Finish: Remove the pan once more from the broiler. Flip each salmon steak over and spread the remaining miso glaze on the other side. Broil the salmon for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the miso glaze becomes bubbly and the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the pan from the broiler. Sprinkle the finely sliced green onion over the salmon steaks for a fresh, zesty touch.

Servings: This recipe yields 4 main dish servings, making it ideal for a family meal or a small dinner gathering.
