Instructions:

1. Salmon Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Miso Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, honey, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Applying the Glaze: Generously brush each salmon fillet with the miso mixture.
4. Baking: Place the salmon in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
5. Dressing: While the salmon bakes, in another bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon zest, remaining soy sauce, and sesame oil. This will form your zesty sesame citrus dressing.
6. Salad Preparation: In a large bowl, toss the mixed salad greens with half of the dressing.
7. Serving: Once the salmon is baked, place it atop the dressed salad greens. Drizzle the remaining sesame citrus dressing over the salmon. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Tips:

1. Miso Substitution: If white miso is unavailable, you can opt for yellow miso. However, be mindful as it has a stronger flavor.
2. Grilling Option: For a smoky flavor, you can grill the salmon instead of baking. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
3. Freshness Matters: For the best Miso-glazed salmon salad experience, always use fresh salad greens.
4. Citrus Variations: Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits like grapefruit or lime for varied flavors in the dressing.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair the Miso-glazed salmon salad with sesame citrus dressing with a light herbal tea or a chilled glass of sparkling water.
• To complement the rich flavors of the miso glaze and citrus dressing, consider adding a side of steamed jasmine or brown rice.
• For an extra layer of texture, you can add sliced avocados or cherry tomatoes to the salad.
