Ingredients

• 4 fillets (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, tahini, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will serve as your miso-inspired glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the glaze over each fillet, making sure they are well-coated.

Step 4

Let the salmon marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Once marinated, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve the miso-ish salmon fillets hot, alongside your choice of Whole30 compliant sides such as roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
