Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lbs salmon
- 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 (8-10 minutes if the fillets are very thin) or until the internal temperature registers at 140-145º F.
- Finish the fillets off by garnishing them with sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions, and enjoy!
