Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 whole Lime

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and olive oil to make the marinade.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves and the inch piece of fresh ginger, then add them to the marinade and whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well covered. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade.

Step 6

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

Step 7

While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with the thickened marinade.

Step 9

Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then sprinkle them over the salmon.

Step 10

Slice the green onions and sprinkle them on top of the salmon for added freshness.

Step 11

Cut the lime into wedges and serve alongside the salmon for a burst of citrus flavor.
