Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 5 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 pounds salmon fillet

Equipment

  • baking pan

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, place the miso, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and pepper then whisk to combine.
  2. Place the salmon on a plate and add the miso mixture while saving five tablespoons aside. Cover and let the salmon marinade on the counter for 15 minutes but not more than 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle the remaining miso mixture and bake for 16-18 minutes, then broil for a minute or two. Out from the oven and let it rest for five to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Notes

Oven temperatures vary, adjust the cooking time accordingly. The doneness of the fish also relies on its thickness. Leave it whole instead of portioning into pieces, I like the rustic look as you serve, the idea of sharing one whole piece with your family and it always comes out perfectly moist). To test the doneness, push the fish with your fork, if it's opaque and flake easily, that's done. Cooking salmon should not be that complicated even without too many gadgets
