Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Salmon Fillets
- 1/4 Cup Miso Paste
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
- Cooked Quinoa or Brown Rice (for serving)

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth and well-combined.
- Marinate the salmon: Lay the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure every piece gets a generous coating and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat your cooking surface: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Cook the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Plate it up: Serve the miso salmon on a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Add the finishing touches: Garnish with freshly sliced scallions and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon for a few hours. Can substitute salmon with other fish like trout or sea bass.
