Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
  3. Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush the miso glaze evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly.
  4. Step 4: While the salmon bakes, toss 2 sliced carrots and 1 sliced zucchini with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skillet from the oven, let the salmon rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with 1 tbsp fresh dill and serve with the roasted vegetables.
