Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks scallions (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For a slightly caramelized glaze, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with steamed rice and a side of sautéed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
