Ingredients

2 servings

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, boned, skin on
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk together lemon juice and black pepper in small bowl. Add mayonnaise, miso paste, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper to lemon-pepper mixture; whisk together.
  • Spread the lemon-pepper mixture over salmon fillets. Reserve about a tablespoon for later use.
  • Cover salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spread remaining lemon-pepper mixture on fillets without letting it pool around base. Sprinkle with a pinch more black pepper and a generous amount of sea salt.
