Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger to form the miso glaze.
- Step 2: Pat dry 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and brush both sides generously with the miso glaze. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until edges are crispy, then flip and cook 3 minutes more until cooked through and glaze caramelizes. Remove salmon and keep warm.
- Step 4: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup julienned carrots, and 1/2 cup snap peas along with 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and fragrant.
- Step 5: Plate salmon atop the stir-fried vegetables, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

How do I store leftover Miso-Glazed Salmon with Ginger-Sesame Stir-Fried Vegetables?
Refrigerate in a covered airtight container for up to 3–4 days (FDA FoodKeeper guideline for cooked fish).

How do I scale Miso-Glazed Salmon with Ginger-Sesame Stir-Fried Vegetables for a different number of people?
