Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and mirin until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and coat each fillet with the miso glaze, reserving some for later.
Bake the salmon for 6-8 minutes until it flakes easily but is not overcooked.
Switch the oven to broil, brush remaining miso glaze on the salmon, and broil for an additional 4-6 minutes until caramelized.
Check the salmon for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 120–125°F for medium.
