Calories: 314kcal
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 6-ounce each
- ¼ cup white miso
- 2 Tablespoons mirin
- 2 Tablespoons sake
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish black or white
- 2 Tablespoons thinly sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the miso, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the miso marinade over the salmon in a bowl or other container, turning the fish to coat each piece. Let it marinade in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil sprayed with cooking spray for easy clean-up. Remove the salmon fillets from the miso marinade, shaking off excess, and arrange on the foil skin-side down (if using skin-on fillets).
- Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes until it flakes easily and is opaque in the center. You can pop them under the broiler for the last minute to give them a little char, if desired, but be careful because miso burns easily because of the sugars in it.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions. Serve with rice or noodles.
Notes
- If you can only find red miso, use 2 tablespoons since it is stronger than white miso.
