Ingredients

  • 2 4-6 oz salmon fillets I recommend Faroe Island salmon if you can get it!
  • 1 TBSP white miso paste (shiro miso)
  • 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce I recommend Kikkoman
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Let the salmon sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. This will help you get a more even cook on the salmon.
  • With the oven rack in mid position, preheat the oven to 425º F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets on top. Then, lightly pat the fillets with paper towels to get rid of any excess moisture.
  • Sprinkle a little bit of salt over the fillets.
  • With a fork, whisk all of the ingredients for the miso glaze in a small bowl until it's cohesive and a sauce forms. Add a bit of water, and mix it again until smooth.
  • Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the salmon fillets.
  • Bake the fillets in the oven for 12 minutes or until the internal temperature registers at 140º F.
  • Finish the fillets off by garnishing them with sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions, and enjoy!
