The salmon is marinated in a Japanese-inspired blend of white miso paste, mirin, sake, garlic and ginger. It’s baked to perfection and then finished off under the broiler until browned.
1Whisk the marinade ingredients. Place the salmon and marinade in a large sealable bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours, turning the bag occasionally to redistribute the marinade and enhance the flavor.
2Insert the wire rack into position 3.
3For easy cleaning and to avoid burning, line the roasting pan with foil and place the broiling rack on top. Allow the excess marinade to drain and place the salmon on the rack, evenly spread apart. Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan.
4Once preheated, place in the oven and start the timer. The oven will cook, then broil to caramelize the top.
5Meanwhile, place the marinade over medium-high heat and boil for 2 minutes to remove bacteria from the raw fish. Remove the pan, add the lemon juice and stir.
6Sprinkle with the green onion and serve with the miso marinade. This dish can be served with steamed broccolini and rice.
