- In a small dish, combine miso paste, tamari, honey, and mirin; mix well.
- Marinate salmon fillets in the mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray, skin side down, and bake for approximately 10 minutes, until a dark caramel color, basting once or twice.
- Toss kale with olive oil and sea salt; add to the baking tray with the fish for the last 1-2 minutes of grilling, until crisped.

Notes
- For a richer glaze, use a combination of light and dark miso paste.
