Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss rainbow carrots, zucchini, and red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Brush half of the glaze evenly over salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Roast vegetables for 20 minutes until edges are caramelized, then place salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and brush remaining glaze over top. Roast 12-15 minutes more until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Transfer salmon to plates, top with roasted vegetables, fresh dill, and lemon slices. Drizzle with any pan juices.
