Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium white miso paste, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, maple syrup, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets, skin side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the miso mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the baked salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the salmon warm with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or brown rice.
