Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and ginger until smooth.
  • Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or plastic bag and pour the marinade over them; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven's broiler to high, positioning the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil or use a broiler pan; lightly coat it to prevent sticking.
  • Remove marinated salmon from the fridge, discard leftover marinade, and place fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and golden-brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  • Serve hot alongside lemon wedges.

Notes

Marinate the salmon for several hours for a deeper flavor. Keep an eye on cooking time to avoid dryness. Use fresh ingredients for best results, and pair with seasonal vegetables or salad.
