Health benefits of Miso Marinated Salmon

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Agave, a sweetener derived from the core of the agave plant, is frequently highlighted in nutritional discussions due to its notably low glycemic index (GI) rating. With a GI score of just 17, it stands out from many other natural sweeteners and sugars that often have higher GI values. For those unfamiliar with the term, the glycemic index is a measure that ranks foods based on how significantly they raise blood glucose (sugar) levels after consumption. Foods with a lower GI value are absorbed more slowly and cause a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, which is particularly crucial for individuals managing conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Miso is extremely nutrient-dense and believed to alkalinize the body and stop the effects of carcinogens in the system.

Ingredients

1/4 cup liquid aminos
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsps slivered ginger root
16 oz salmon fillets
1/4 oz white miso paste

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Whisk liquid aminos (or low sodium soy sauce) and 1/4 oz or 2 tsp white miso paste together until mixed well.

2. Add slivered ginger root, sesame oil, and agave nectar (or honey) to miso mixture. Whisk until mixed. Pour the marinade into a shallow plastic container that is large enough to hold the salmon.

3. Divide the salmon into four 4 oz portions, or into 2 portions so it will fit into the container with the marinade.

4. Place salmon into the marinade flesh side down. Marinate for up to an hour.

5. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place salmon on the foil and spoon a little of the marinade over the fish.

6. Bake in the middle of a 375 °F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

7. Note: good served with steamed asparagus and green beans and ginger soy swiss chard.
