Trout is a leaner option, while canned salmon is budget-friendly.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1-2 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and a small splash of sesame oil until well combined.

Add the 2 portions of skin-off Ora King salmon to the marinade, ensuring every side is nicely coated.

Cover the salmon and refrigerate for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove the salmon from the fridge and wipe off the excess marinade.

Place the salmon on the lined baking sheet.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it until it starts to get a nice dark crust.
