Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- ¼ cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure the fillets are well-coated. Give the salmon ten minutes or more to marinate.
- Bake the Salmon: Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Serve hot.
Notes
You can marinate the salmon for up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor.
If you want a caramelized top, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
