Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger until smooth to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets with skin on and brush each generously with the miso glaze on the flesh side. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 lb asparagus spears with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Preheat grill to medium heat, about 375°F. Place asparagus on the grill perpendicular to grates and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots.
  5. Step 5: Place salmon fillets skin side down on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip gently and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Step 6: Remove salmon and asparagus from grill. Sprinkle salmon with 1 tsp black sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
