Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons chickpea miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 inch piece, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cut into wedges lime
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the chickpea miso paste, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the miso mixture over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Discard any leftover marinade.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve each piece with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your soy-free miso salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
