Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each), skin on
- ¼ cup Original PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Garnish
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
- Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down into a deep dish with a tight-fitting lid and set aside.
- Make Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together PB2 powdered peanut butter, water, olive oil, miso paste, seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until smooth.
- Marinate Salmon: Pour the prepared marinade over the salmon fillets in the dish. Cover with the lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight to develop deeper flavor.
- Arrange for Baking: Remove the marinated salmon from the refrigerator and transfer the fillets to a 9×13-inch deep baking dish, spacing them at least ½ inch apart. Pour any remaining marinade over the fish.
- Bake Salmon: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marinade has browned and the salmon is firm to the touch.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro, and serve immediately with remaining marinade from the pan.
Notes
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness of the salmon.
- Use skin-on fillets to help keep the fish moist during baking.
- Ensure the baking dish is deep enough to hold the fillets and marinade without spilling.
- You can substitute low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- Leftover cooked salmon can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
