Equipment

  • Oven
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Oven-proof skillet
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cooking brush

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 ounces each or 170 grams
  • 2 tbsp miso paste 30 grams
  • 1 tbsp Swerve sweetener or another keto-friendly sweetener, 12 grams
  • 2 tsp sesame oil 10 ml
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar 5 ml
  • ½ tsp ginger grated, 1 gram
  • 1 clove garlic minced, 3 grams
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil for frying, 15 ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Green onions thinly sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, Swerve sweetener, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. This will be your miso glaze.
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat avocado oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  • Flip the salmon and brush a generous amount of the miso glaze over the top of each fillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes for an extra caramelized glaze (watch carefully to avoid burning).
  • Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions if using.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the miso glaze.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed or roasted low-carb vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
If you prefer a thinner glaze, add a small amount of water or keto-friendly broth to the miso mixture before applying it to the salmon.
Ensure your miso paste and sweetener are keto-friendly by checking the labels for added sugars and carbs.
