Preheat oven to 400℉ with the rack positioned in the middle.
Pat the fish dry paper towel and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Skin side down. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Slice and add miso butter slices on hot fish, and let the butter melt, creating a butter sauce.
Spread with a spatula and serve.
Notes
Optional: Serve with fresh mint, chives, or dill sprinkled on top.
Alternatively, swap sea salt with citrus-infused salt for extra flavor.
If using frozen fish, make sure it is fully defrosted before cooking.
The cooking time of the fish will depend on the thickness of the fillet. The thicker the fish, the longer it will cook. The general rule of thumb is to bake for approximately 5 minutes per half-inch of thickness. On the other hand, instead of relying on time, look for visual cues. Fish is cooked when it is opaque throughout, and it easily flakes with a fork.
