Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 olive oil spray or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with olive oil spray or cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking.
In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until the marinade is smooth and well-blended.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Evenly spread the miso marinade over the top of each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the salmon to marinate while the oven preheats, about 10-15 minutes.
Once the oven is ready, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be cooked through and opaque, with a slight caramelization on top.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. To serve, garnish each fillet with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Miso Salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
