Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons miso paste
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 pieces green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
• 1 olive oil spray or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with olive oil spray or cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until the marinade is smooth and well-blended.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Evenly spread the miso marinade over the top of each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the salmon to marinate while the oven preheats, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Once the oven is ready, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be cooked through and opaque, with a slight caramelization on top.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. To serve, garnish each fillet with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 6

Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Miso Salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
