Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste (made with chickpea miso, paleo-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine chickpea miso paste, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and honey. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the grill or baking sheet.
Cook the salmon for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the salmon from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish the cooked salmon with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dish.
