Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) skin-side down on the baking sheet, and brush the miso glaze evenly over the tops.
  3. Step 3: Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon bakes, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, tossing frequently, until tender-crisp and bright green.
  6. Step 6: Transfer broccoli to serving plates, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and plate the miso-glazed salmon alongside for a balanced meal.
