By Maverick19

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
• 4 5oz skinless salmon or hake fillets
• 2 Tbsp canola oil
• 2 Tbsp melter butter, cooled
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp white miso
• 1/2 tsp grated garlic
• sesame seeds, for garnish
• lemon wedges for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 Tbsp of salt with 2 cups of hot water and stir to dissolve the salt. Let cool to room temperature, then add the fish to the bowl and let brine at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the oil with the butter, lemon juice, miso and garlic, until smooth; season with salt.
3Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain the fish and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with the lemon-garlic butter. Roast until golden and just cooked through, about 10 minutes for the salmon and 15 minutes for the hake. Transfer to plates, garnish with sesame seeds and serve with lemon wedges.
