Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 unit (juice and zest) lime
- 2 units (thinly sliced) green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, and zest. Mix until well combined and smooth, forming a marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Season each fillet lightly with salt and black pepper.
Brush each fillet generously with the miso marinade, ensuring a thick coating on the top and sides.
Allow the salmon to marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature while the oven preheats.
After marinating, drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets to help create a beautiful glaze as they cook.
Place the baking sheet with marinated salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle the green onions and sesame seeds over the top of the salmon fillets.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb vegetables or salad.
