Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

3 tablespoons white miso paste

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar to create a marinade. The mixture should be smooth and well combined.

    Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the miso marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

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

        Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade) and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top of the salmon.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

            Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with finely chopped green onions.

              Serve the miso salmon hot over cooked rice or quinoa, making sure to include some of the delicious juices from the baking sheet.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the salmon on a bed of rice or quinoa, drizzle any pan juices over the top, and garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions for a beautiful finishing touch. Sprinkle some sliced cucumbers or pickled vegetables on the side for added color and crunch.
