Description
This baked miso maple ginger salmon recipe is such an easy, delicious, and nutritious weeknight dinner! You only need 8 ingredients and about 30 minutes to make the salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces of salmon (about 4–6 ounces each)
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup non-alcoholic mirin seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp miso paste
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place salmon fillets on top.
- Step: Add non-alcoholic mirin seasoning to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the seasoning to a boil, and allow to boil for about 1 minute.
- Step: Then, reduce the heat and add minced garlic. Stir around for about 30 seconds, then add miso paste. Whisk until the miso paste starts to dissolve and break down.
- Step: Then, add the grated ginger, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and avocado oil. Bring everything to a boil again, whisking continuously for 1 minute.
- Step: Once a smooth sauce has formed, turn off the heat. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over top of the salmon fillets, coating evenly.
- Step: Place salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Step: When salmon is cooked, remove from oven. Serve with desired sides and finish with the remainder of sauce and some black pepper.
