Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp minced ginger until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet, covering the entire surface.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the salmon is opaque and the glaze is bubbling and golden around the edges.
  4. Step 4: While salmon bakes, combine 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, 1/2 cup julienned carrots, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 tsp sesame oil in a bowl; toss until the vegetables are lightly coated and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Serve the glazed salmon immediately over a bed of honey-ginger slaw, ensuring the salmon is moist and the slaw is refreshing.
