  5. Broil the fish, skin sides down, on the oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 to 7 inches (18 cm) from the heat, until the fish is just cooked through, about 6 minutes.

Source reference

Curation note (AI-assisted gap fix): this recipe is archived from blimacake.com and kept as its own version. The source post left one marinade line as “1/2 cup (Japanese sweet rice wine)” with the ingredient name dropped; the method still calls for “mirin.” During curation an AI web search located a matching published version, Salmon with Soy-Honey Glaze and Wasabi (from Epicurious/Gourmet), via Love & Olive Oil, whose line reads “1/2 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)”, and that was used only to restore the missing ingredient name. Nothing else was changed.
