Oven-Roasted Miso Sesame Salmon

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450.

2. 2

   Rinse the salmon and place it skin-side down on an oiled baking sheet.

3. 3

   With a sharp knife, make about 4 slashes across each fillet, taking care not to cut all the way through.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, combine the miso, mirin, brown sugar, and vinegar.

5. 5

   Roast the salmon for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove it from the oven, spoon the miso-mirin glaze onto the fillets, and return it to the oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork but is still moist, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

7. 7

   Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.

8. 8

   If you dont have mirin (page 290), increase the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.

9. 9

   Serve on a bed of soba, rice, or wheat noodles or on rice (see page 176), with Pan-Asian Slaw (page 212) on the side.

10. 10

    Leftovers are good flaked, in a vegetable saute or on a salad.
