Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 pieces (about 150g each)
• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
• Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
• Swerve sweetener (or any keto-friendly sweetener) - 1 teaspoon (4g)
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Spinach - 150g, fresh
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix the white miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, Swerve sweetener, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the glaze.
3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the salmon is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve each fillet on a plate with a side of sautéed spinach, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
