Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste (made with chickpea miso, paleo-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine chickpea miso paste, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and honey. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the grill or baking sheet.

Step 6

Cook the salmon for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Garnish the cooked salmon with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dish.
