Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, honey, and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth; spread evenly over salmon.
  3. Step 3: Arrange salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 12-14 minutes until edges are crisp and internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C).
  4. Step 4: Toss broccoli and carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper; roast on a separate sheet for 15-18 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle roasted vegetables with remaining miso glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately with salmon.
