Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 4 pieces of salmon back cut skin-side down.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until smooth.
Step 3: Spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon piece using a spoon or brush.
Step 4: Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from oven and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the fish. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving to add a fresh, sharp contrast.
