Instructions
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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)
- Balance Your Miso Paste Ratio 🧂Use 3 tablespoons of miso per 2 tablespoons of honey to achieve the perfect sweet-savory umami balance; too much miso creates excessive saltiness, while too little diminishes the signature depth.
- Pat Salmon Dry for Perfect Glaze Adhesion 💧Always pat your salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels before applying the miso glaze; moisture prevents the marinade from adhering properly and creates steam instead of caramelization.
- Don't Skip the Marinating Step ⏱️Marinate the salmon for at least 15-30 minutes before cooking to allow the miso, soy sauce, and mirin to penetrate the flesh and develop deeper, more concentrated flavors.
- Finish Skin-Side Up for Crispy Perfection 🔥Cook skin-side down first to render the fat and create crispiness, then flip to finish skin-side up; this prevents the delicate glaze from burning while keeping the skin textured.
- Reserve Glaze for Drizzling at Service 🎨Save a portion of the raw miso mixture before cooking to drizzle over the finished salmon; this adds fresh umami brightness and prevents the cooked glaze from becoming overly concentrated or bitter.
