Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons chickpea miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 inch piece, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cut into wedges lime
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the chickpea miso paste, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the miso mixture over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 4
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Discard any leftover marinade.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve each piece with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top.
Step 8
Enjoy your soy-free miso salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
