Method
Whisk the miso, mirin, soy sauce, honey, and ginger into a smooth glaze.
Coat the salmon fillets in the glaze and leave 20-30 minutes (or up to a few hours in the fridge).
Heat the oven to 400F/200C and line a tray with baking paper.
Wipe off the excess glaze (it can burn) and place the salmon on the tray.
Bake 10-12 minutes until the salmon is just cooked and flakes easily.
For a caramelized top, finish under a hot grill 1-2 minutes, watching closely so the sugars do not burn.
Scatter with sesame seeds and scallions and serve with rice.
The step worth not rushing: For a caramelized top, finish under a hot grill 1-2 minutes, watching closely so the sugars do not burn.
