Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Once marinated, remove the salmon from the fridge. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin side down, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, thinly slice the green onions and cut the lemon into wedges.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve each salmon fillet with a lemon wedge on the side. Enjoy your low-carb miso salmon!
