Ingredients:
- 1 whole salmon fillet (about 2 lbs, skin on or off)
- ¼ cup miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey (or other liquid sweetener of your choice)
- ¼ cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-inch knob of ginger, grated
- Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Start by preparing your glaze. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, honey, soy sauce or aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Lay the salmon fillet (skin-side down if it has skin), on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a brush or spoon, generously spread the miso glaze over the top and sides of the salmon fillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on how thick your fillet is.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle on any additional garnishes and enjoy!
