2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce I use Tamari, which is gluten-free
2 tablespoons real Canadian maple syrup or substitute with coconut sugar or organic raw sugar.
4 salmon fillets approximately 200g (7 ounces) each

In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar combine miso paste, soy sauce and maple syrup. Using a tablespoon, mix well until everything is well combined. Set aside.
2 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons real Canadian maple syrup

Place salmon fillets in a large bowl and add the miso paste. Gently turn the fish pieces around until everything is coated with the glaze.
4 salmon fillets
Arrange the salmon fillets on a baking dish and spread the remaining miso glaze over the fish using a tablespoon.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes.
Take the salmon out and serve.

Baking time will vary depending on the size of your salmon fillets.
Check for doneness by pressing on the thickest part with a fork or your finger—if it flakes easily, it’s ready.
Prefer it slightly undercooked? Use sashimi-grade salmon for the best quality and safety.
Enhance the flavor by marinating the salmon in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.
