Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp fresh ginger, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 2 medium carrots (sliced into 1/4-inch coins), 2 medium zucchini (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds), and 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp avocado oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss until evenly coated. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Place 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets on a plate. Brush each fillet evenly with the miso mixture. Place salmon on a separate baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Top with salmon fillets and garnish with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
