Miso Baked Salmon

This is seriously the most delicious and EASY salmon recipe. Perfect for a weeknight recipe or for serving your dinner guests. It’s packed with flavor, but it is simple and QUICK to make. I paired this with some coconut (brown) rice and some roasted broccoli. I will definitely be making this dinner on repeat!

Ingredients:

(serves 2-4)

  • 1 lb salmon fillet

  • 2 tbsp white miso

  • 1 tbsp mirin

  • 1 tbsp liquid aminos (or soy sauce)

  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

  • In a bowl, whisk together white miso, mirin, liquid aminos, and sesame oil.

  • Drizzle a little olive oil in a baking dish (or line a baking sheet with parchment paper) and place the salmon skin side down. Cover the salmon with the marinade and let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

  • Before placing the salmon in the oven, wipe away some excess marinade, and then bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon.

  • Finally, turn the oven to broil and broil for about 2 minute or until there’s a nice little char on top.
