Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with 3/4 of the miso glaze, reserving 1/4 for finishing.
Step 3: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque at the thickest part and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 4: Remove from oven, brush with reserved glaze, and sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds. Let rest 3 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.
Step 5: Serve immediately with steamed rice and blanched green beans, drizzling any pan juices over the salmon.
