Gwyneth Paltrow Wellness Recipes: Miso Salmon with Bok Choy and Asparagus

white miso paste

🥗Healthier: red miso paste

💰Cheaper: soybean paste

Red miso has a deeper flavor, while soybean paste is more affordable.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics mirin's sweetness with fewer calories.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil offers health benefits and is often less expensive.

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Trout is a leaner option, while canned salmon is budget-friendly.

Grate about 2 tablespoons of ginger.

In a bowl, combine white miso, tamari, toasted sesame oil, mirin, and rice wine vinegar until it forms a thick paste.

Drizzle a little olive oil on the bottom of a baking pan.

Coat the salmon fillets with the miso mixture.

Slice the bok choy into quarters.

Coat the bok choy and asparagus with olive oil to ensure they get crispy in the oven.

Place the salmon, bok choy, and asparagus in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare soba noodles or an alternative like jasmine rice or sushi rice.

After 15 minutes, remove the salmon, bok choy, and asparagus from the oven; the bok choy should have crispy edges and the asparagus should be tender.

Plate the soba noodles, then add the salmon, asparagus, and bok choy on top.

Garnish with white sesame seeds, seaweed, and scallions.
