Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the orange miso glaze generously over the top and sides of each fillet.

Step 4

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, you can prepare optional garnishes such as slicing green onions, toasting sesame seeds, and zesting an orange.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Plate the salmon fillets, spoon any remaining glaze or pan juices over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniments such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
