- radio_button_unchecked1 tbsp Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- radio_button_unchecked1 tsp Soy sauce
- radio_button_unchecked1 tsp Sesame oil

Method
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Make the Miso Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth and combined. The consistency should be like a thick syrup.
Glaze the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush the miso glaze over the top and sides of each fillet.
Bake
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).
Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice or with roasted vegetables.
