Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
- 1 cup assorted vegetables (like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots), steamed

Instructions
-
Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey or maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
-
Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
-
Cook Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.
-
Serve: On a plate, serve a portion of cooked rice or quinoa, topped with the baked salmon and steamed vegetables. Drizzle with any additional marinade sauce from the baking sheet if desired.
-
Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and crunch.
