Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

3 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (toasted)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).

      Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

        Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Reserve any leftover marinade.

          Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

            While the salmon is baking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

              Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the thickened marinade over the top.

                Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon before serving.
