Bring the soy sauce, mirin and caster sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the miso paste and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish and leave to cool completely.

Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat. Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
