Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp grated ginger in a small bowl until smooth.

  4. Step 4: While salmon cooks, heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add 2 cups trimmed snap peas and cook for 4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Stir in 1 tsp soy sauce and cook 1 minute more.
  5. Step 5: Serve salmon with snap peas, drizzling any pan juices over the top.

How do I store leftover Miso-Glazed Salmon with Gingered Snap Peas?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep white miso paste from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Miso-Glazed Salmon with Gingered Snap Peas?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Miso-Glazed Salmon with Gingered Snap Peas for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
