Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 inch piece, grated ginger root
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to form a smooth marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is well-coated. Cover the dish and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Discard any remaining marinade.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets and season with freshly ground black pepper.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each fillet for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the baked salmon with finely chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the miso salmon fillets alongside steamed brown rice and a side of sautéed vegetables for a balanced heart-healthy meal.
