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 ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, sugar substitute, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
Brush each salmon fillet generously with the miso mixture, ensuring the tops are fully covered.
Let the salmon fillets marinate for about 10 minutes in the miso mixture at room temperature to enhance flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the cooked salmon fillets with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the miso salmon fillets hot, accompanied by your choice of low-carb vegetables or salads.
