Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth to form the miso glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is still attached.

Step 4

Brush a generous amount of the miso glaze over each salmon fillet, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be caramelized and slightly browned.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables on the side for a complete meal. Enjoy!
