Ingredients

1 tbsp white miso paste (shiro miso)
1 tbsp hulled tahini
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp maple syrup
2 tbsp water
2 spring onions
2 fillets salmon
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to season

To Serve

rice
steamed greens

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 C. Tear off a large piece of baking paper and place over a baking tray so that you will be able to fold up all the edges together and seal. Optionally, do the same with a piece of aluminium foil as well, and then layer down the foil first, followed by the baking paper (this will be easier to fold up and seal as the foil is more sturdy!)
In a small bowl whisk together the miso paste, tahini, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and water. Finely chop the spring onions.
Rub the teaspoon of olive oil over the baking paper where you are going to place the salmon (just to ensure it won't stick at all). Place salmon (skin side down if skin is still on) on top of the baking paper. Pour about 1/2 to 2/3 of the sauce over the salmon and spread across the top. Sprinkle over 1 finely chopped spring onion and some cracked pepper.
Wrap the edges of the foil/baking paper together to form a sealed pouch with the salmon inside. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through - cooking time will vary depending on thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is baking add a splash of extra water to the remaining sauce and whisk to thin it out a little. This is the dressing for the finished dish.
Serve the salmon with rice, steamed greens, the extra chopped spring onion and tahini miso dressing.

Notes

*You can use skin-on or skinless salmon fillets for this recipe.

*Please note the size and thickness of the salmon fillets affects cooking time. I tend to use thick salmon fillets (around 1 inch thick or evenly slightly more at their thickest) weighing 175-200 grams each. If your fillets are small and/or thin cooking time may only be 15-20 minutes.

*If you would like a more tangy dressing add 2 tsp extra vinegar to the sauce. Do this at Step 5 above.

*Nutrition Facts have been calculated using a 175g salmon fillet per person. Nutrition Facts are for one serve.

*If my instructions on how to place the salmon in the baking paper are terrible please do an internet search for 'salmon en papillote' to see some more examples! :)
