Make the miso glaze by combining 1 cup miso paste, 1 cup rice vinegar, and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan.

Turn the stove on to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.

Bring the mixture to a quick boil and then shut off the heat.

Let the miso glaze cool to room temperature.

Line a sheet pan with foil and spray the bottom with pan spray.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared sheet pan.

Pour the cooled miso glaze over the salmon, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Bake the salmon in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Check for browning around the miso glaze and ensure the fish is cooked to a nice pink color.
