Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Brush miso glaze evenly over salmon, then arrange 1 bunch (12 oz) trimmed asparagus around the fish. Drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil and 1/2 tsp soy sauce.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque in the center and asparagus is tender-crisp. Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking.
  5. Step 5: Transfer salmon to a plate. Spoon asparagus and pan sauce over the top. Sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
