Directions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until smooth to create the glaze.

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated salmon on it. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
