Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the orange miso glaze generously over the top and sides of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon is baking, you can prepare optional garnishes such as slicing green onions, toasting sesame seeds, and zesting an orange.
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Plate the salmon fillets, spoon any remaining glaze or pan juices over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniments such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
