Ingredients

raw salmon
3 fillets
salt
0.5 tsp
coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp
mayonnaise
3 tbsp
miso
1 tbsp
sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sprinkle the salmon evenly with salt and let it rest for 10 minutes. Pat the surface dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture so the fish bakes up nicely instead of steaming.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, miso, and sweet chili sauce until smooth and well combined.

If you do not have sweet chili sauce, use a homemade version or substitute with a mix of chili sauce and a small amount of sugar for a similar sweet-spicy flavor.
