Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk miso paste, mirin, sake, honey, and soy sauce until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush 2 tbsp of the glaze over the fish, reserving 1 tbsp for later.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and glaze is caramelized.
