Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the white miso paste, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic. Mix well until you have a smooth marinade.
Season the salmon fillets with black pepper and sea salt.
Brush the miso marinade generously over each salmon fillet, covering all sides.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In another bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Scatter the tomato and olive mixture around the salmon on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the serving plates with a bed of fresh baby spinach.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and place the fillets over the spinach on each plate.
Spoon the roasted cherry tomatoes and olives around the salmon.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
