A delightful blend of umami-rich white miso and sweet maple syrup creates a glossy marinade for salmon. The thick marinade protects the fish from drying out while the maple syrup helps caramelize the exterior quickly. The result is perfectly cooked salmon with a beautiful glaze, juicy interior, and an ideal balance of savoury and sweet flavours.

1
Combine white miso, maple syrup, mirin, and soy sauce to create a thick marinade. This glaze will protect the salmon from drying out and help the exterior caramelize quickly.
2
Select thick salmon fillets, preferably center-cut pieces about 4–4.5 cm thick, and coat them evenly with the miso-maple glaze.
3
Place the glazed salmon in a preheated 180°C (356°F) oven and bake for 15 minutes until cooked through.
4
Remove the salmon when the top is beautifully caramelized and the flesh flakes easily and remains moist inside.
