Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and place them skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet lightly brushed with 1 tsp vegetable oil.
Step 3: Spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet using a spoon or brush.
Step 4: Preheat your oven broiler to high and place the salmon about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 6-8 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized, and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions over the top before serving.
