Preparation
Whisk together the marinade. In a bowl, combine the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
Marinate the salmon. Place the salmon fillets into a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon; ensure each fillet is coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the baking sheet. Line with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Arrange the fillets. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Roast the salmon. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily.
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top.
