Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup miso paste
• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Poach fish just until cooked on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a broiler pan.

Step 3

Stir together miso paste, brown sugar, salad dressing, sake, water, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Spread over the tops of the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut fillets into portions to serve.
