If you are looking to find the miner's address, you will need the full block, not just the header.

The miner's address will be transaction 0 of the block, also known as the [coinbase transaction](https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/coinbase-transaction). Like all the other transactions, it is included in the [Merkle Root](https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/merkle-root) in the block header, but not in the block header itself.
