Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, gluten-free tamari sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the used marinade.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish the fillets with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the miso salmon hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
