Instructions

Combine miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey in a bowl and mix well. Place salmon fillets in a bowl or deep plate and pour the marinade over them. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread some marinade on the foil and place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Distribute the remaining marinade between the fillets.

Make sure the top of the salmon fillets is only coated with a thin layer of marinade. Otherwise, it won't caramelize properly in the oven.

Bake the salmon in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through. Then serve with your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Miso Marinade Magic 🥢
Let the salmon marinate in the miso mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the fish.
Skin-Side Secrets 🐟
Start cooking the salmon skin-side down in a hot pan to create a crispy exterior and render the fat, which adds incredible flavor and texture.
Umami Layering Technique 🍲
Mix different types of miso (white and red) to create a more complex and depth of umami flavor in your marinade.
Glaze Timing Perfection ✨
Brush the honey-mirin glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to prevent burning while creating a beautiful caramelized finish.
Moisture Preservation Hack 💧
Cover the salmon with foil for the first half of cooking to lock in moisture, then uncover to allow caramelization and prevent drying out.
