Recipe Notes

The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillet and the type of toaster oven so adjust it accordingly.
Like our Salmon Chan Chan Yaki recipe, the combination of miso and butter goes great together so you can also try it out instead of the ponzu sauce.
You can also use pacific cod, pollock, sea bream, red snapper or marlin in this recipe.
