Instructions
- 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spoon or brush the miso glaze generously over the top and sides of each fillet. Let the salmon fillets marinate at room temperature for at least 5 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the fridge for deeper flavor).
- 3
Preheat your oven to ![400°F]. Bake the salmon fillets for 8–10 minutes, until the flesh is nearly opaque and just starting to flake at the edges.

Switch the oven to ^[broil on high]. Broil the salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the miso glaze is caramelized, slightly charred at the edges, and deeply golden. The internal temperature should reach %[125–130°F for medium] or %[145°F for well-done].

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice, alongside sautéed bok choy, or with a simple cucumber salad.
