Trout is a healthier fish option, while canned salmon is more economical.

Marinate the salmon fillets in a mixture of miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, and crushed ginger.

Allow the salmon to marinate for a period to absorb the flavors.

Bake or broil the marinated salmon fillets at 425 degrees F until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, approximately 20 minutes for larger fillets or 10-12 minutes for smaller ones.

Garnish the cooked salmon with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

If desired, boil any leftover marinade to eliminate contamination, then simmer until thickened and brush over the cooked salmon.
