Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet and brush lightly with oil so the fish doesn't glue itself down.

  2. 2

    Whisk white miso, honey (or maple), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger into a smooth glaze — no dry miso lumps. Pat the salmon fillets dry and coat the tops generously; a thick swipe is better than a thin wash.

  3. 3

    Bake 10–12 minutes until the thickest part flakes with a fork and the glaze looks sticky and lightly browned at the edges. Broil 30–60 seconds if you want deeper caramel — watch closely so the sugar doesn't burn.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with steamed rice and a quick veg. The miso should smell toasty-sweet, not bitter.
