Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 6 oz salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin sweet rice wine
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven:

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

Make the Marinade:

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth.

Marinate the Salmon:

  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the miso marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes for best flavor.

Bake the Salmon:

  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  • Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or your favorite vegetables.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
You can broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes for a caramelized top.
