Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

3 tablespoons white miso paste

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)

2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix the miso paste, honey or maple syrup, soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Reserve the other half for later. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Bake the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

          Glaze and Broil: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the reserved marinade on top. Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

            Serve: Carefully transfer the salmon to plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking sheet over the salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve alongside cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
