Salmon is a great weeknight meal — filling but not too heavy. Adding a miso glaze is perfect whether you’re cooking the salmon in the oven or on the grill. Glaze the salmon a few times during the cooking process to deepen the sweet and salty flavor.
Best of all, this is a fast meal. You can have dinner on the table in under thirty minutes.
Make sure you buy gluten-free miso. Some brands include barley or wheat. If you’re looking for other ideas for using up the miso you bought, here are some suggestions.

is all miso paste gluten free?
no, not all miso is gluten free, though i am not sure why. i always make sure the paste i buy is marked as GF to reduce the chances of problems. i have found gluten-free miso at whole foods and my local grocery store, so it is generally pretty easy to locate.
