Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari sauce
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole lime, sliced into wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, gluten-free tamari sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish the fillets with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Serve the miso salmon hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
