1. Whisk the white miso paste, mirin, sake and soy sauce into a smooth glaze. Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush them generously with the glaze. Let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

1 tbsp Mirin,
1 tbsp Sake,
2 tsp Soy sauce

2. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment. Place the salmon on the tray, brush with the neutral oil, and roast for 10-12 minutes until flaky and lightly caramelized at the edges. Broil for the final 1-2 minutes if you want deeper color, watching closely so the miso does not burn. Rest for 5 minutes, then flake into large chunks.
1 tsp Neutral oil

3. Cook the edamame in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and shock in ice water to keep the color bright. Drain well and pat dry.
