# What You Need:
→ For the Miso Salmon
01 - 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
02 - 2 tbsp white miso paste
03 - 1 tbsp mirin (or dry sherry)
04 - 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
05 - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 tsp sesame oil
07 - 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
→ For the Sautéed Spinach
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
09 - 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
10 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
11 - 1 tbsp fresh ginger, julienned
12 - 14 oz fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
13 - 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
14 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
15 - Lemon wedges, for serving
# How to Cook:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth.
03 - Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking tray. Brush generously with miso glaze, coating all sides.
04 - Bake salmon for 10–12 minutes, or until just cooked through and lightly caramelized on top. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
05 - While the salmon bakes, heat olive or sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and julienned ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
06 - Add spinach in batches, stirring until just wilted. Season with soy sauce and black pepper, tossing to combine evenly.
07 - Divide sautéed spinach among plates, top with miso-glazed salmon, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
