Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, tahini, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will serve as your miso-inspired glaze.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the glaze over each fillet, making sure they are well-coated.
Let the salmon marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
Once marinated, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the miso-ish salmon fillets hot, alongside your choice of Whole30 compliant sides such as roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
