Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tbsp sugar until smooth.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and spread a generous layer of the miso glaze over the top of each fillet. Place on a lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until salmon is just cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Place 1 cup julienned daikon radish and 2 tbsp julienned fresh ginger in a bowl, pour the warm pickling liquid over, and let sit for 15 minutes to pickle.
Step 5: Serve the miso-glazed salmon topped or accompanied by the pickled daikon and ginger salad for a bright contrast.
