Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the ginger and mince the garlic. Add both to the miso mixture along with the sesame oil. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any remaining marinade.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the miso marinade is caramelized on top.

Step 7

While the salmon is baking, slice the green onions thinly on a diagonal. These will be used as a garnish.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Transfer the salmon to serving plates, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
