Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger until smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag, then pour the marinade over the salmon, coating each fillet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat Broiler: Set your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
  5. Broil Salmon: Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, discard excess marinade, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, allow to rest, then top with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
