Oven-Roasted Miso Sesame Salmon

• 4 serving-sized pieces of salmon fillet (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons light miso
• 1 1/2 tablespoons mirin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• Chopped scallions

1. Preheat the oven to 450.
2. Rinse the salmon and place it skin-side down on an oiled baking sheet.
3. With a sharp knife, make about 4 slashes across each fillet, taking care not to cut all the way through.
4. In a small bowl, combine the miso, mirin, brown sugar, and vinegar.
5. Roast the salmon for 5 minutes.
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. Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.
8. If you dont have mirin (page 290), increase the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.
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. Leftovers are good flaked, in a vegetable saute or on a salad.
