INGREDIENTS

2 Salmon fillets (8 oz each)
2 tbsp miso
1 tbsp sake
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp sesame oil
½ tsp toasted white and black sesame seeds (for garnish)
1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a nice sear and allows the marinade to adhere better to the fish. Make sure the salmon is completely dry on both sides.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients vigorously until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. This blending is important as it ensures that each flavor is evenly distributed.
Place the salmon fillets in a medium-sized bowl or a sealable plastic bag. Pour the mixed sauce over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator. The ideal marinating time is between 1 to 3 hours; this allows the flavors to penetrate the fish, enhancing its taste and aroma.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the marinated salmon in it, skin-side down. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon is done when it's almost opaque throughout.
In the final 1-2 minutes of baking, broil on high until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit. This final broil gives a delightful glaze and slightly crispy edge to the salmon.
Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the fish moist and flavorful.

For garnish, sprinkle finely chopped green onions and a pinch of sesame seeds over the salmon.

Enjoy! ♡
