Instructions

Step 1: Pat 180g salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar until smooth.
Step 2: Brush miso mixture evenly over salmon, pressing gently to adhere. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F/190°C). Place salmon skin-side down on grill and cook for 8-10 minutes until edges are crisp and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
