Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300g)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for roasting broccoli)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (for broccoli)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together white miso paste, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger (if using), and minced garlic until smooth.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush or spoon the miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Let the salmon rest with the glaze for about 10 minutes.
  5. Toss broccoli florets with sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the seasoned broccoli around the salmon on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Roast salmon and broccoli together in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily and broccoli edges are crispy and golden brown.
  8. If broccoli needs more time, roast separately for a few additional minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the broccoli.
  10. Serve immediately with your choice of side such as steamed rice or a light salad.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry to ensure crispiness. Let glaze rest on salmon for 10 minutes before roasting to enhance flavor. Roast broccoli in a single layer to avoid steaming. Toast sesame seeds yourself for better flavor. Avoid overbaking salmon to keep it moist and tender. Glaze can be made ahead and stored in fridge up to 3 days.
