Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium miso paste
• 1 inch piece, grated Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Lemon

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium miso paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and olive oil. Mix well to create a smooth 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 the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if time allows.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 4

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet with freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, chop the green onions and cut the lemon into wedges.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the salmon to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve each fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of freshness.

Step 9

Enjoy your flavorful and healthy low sodium miso salmon fillets!
