Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). 2. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth to create the marinade. 3. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 4. Brush the miso marinade generously over the salmon fillet, ensuring it's well coated. 5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. 6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute. 7. Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds before serving. 8. Serve with steamed rice if desired.
