Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 (150g each)
• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Honey - 1 tablespoon (15g)
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon (5ml)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, mix together miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
