Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tsp yuzu zest, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and press the marinade into the flesh, ensuring even coverage. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque. Garnish with lemon slices before serving.
