Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon honey until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  3. Step 3: Roast the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toss 300 grams halved baby bok choy with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and black pepper to taste. Spread on a separate baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast the bok choy for 10 minutes until tender and slightly charred, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds before serving alongside the salmon.
