Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 lbs salmon fillet ((either skin-on or skinless salmon fillet work fine))
- 2 Tbsp Miso ((do not use the low-sodium kind!))
- 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbsp Mirin
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil (I use grapeseed oil)
- 1 inch ginger ((minced))
- 2 handfuls arugula and/or mixed salad greens
- sesame seeds ((optional garnish))
- green onions, chopped ((optional garnish))
Instructions
- 1
Pre-heat oven broiler on high heat for 10 minutes. Rearrange oven racks so that it's 5-6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with lightly greased aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- 2
Mix marinade ingredients in a medium size bowl.
- 3
Cut salmon fillet into 2-inch cubes. Add salmon cubes to marinade and mix gently until thoroughly coated.
- 4
Thread salmon cubes onto skewers, making sure to scrape every bit of marinade from the bowl onto the salmon.
- 5
Broil skewers until fish is opaque and flaky, with browned edges here and there, about 3-4 minutes. The time depends on salmon thickness. (Flipping or turning fish is not necessary -- you want those caramelized bits.) Watch carefully and DO NOT OVERCOOK!

Transfer skewers to plate filled with arugula and/or mixed salad greens. If desired, garnish with sprinkling of sesame seeds and green onion. Serve immediately or at room temperature. Enjoy!
