Instructions
- Whisk miso, maple syrup, soy, vinegar, ginger and sesame oil until smooth.
- Pat the salmon dry and place it skin-side down in a lined baking dish.
- Spread most of the glaze over the fish and leave for 10 minutes while the oven heats to 210°C.
- Bake for 10 minutes, brush with the remaining glaze, then bake 5 to 8 minutes more.
- Rest for 3 minutes, then scatter with spring onion and sesame seeds.
Kitchen note: The flesh should just begin to flake while remaining moist in the centre. Follow local food-safety guidance and check the thickest part.
