Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Nobu Miso Salmon
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine white miso paste, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Stir until smooth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the cooled marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently remove salmon from the marinade and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
  5. Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, until it’s opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Switch to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for caramelization. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
