Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Brush miso mixture evenly over salmon fillets, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the top.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  4. Step 4: Let rest 3 minutes. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
