Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss peeled and diced carrots and parsnips with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast for 20 minutes until fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Whisk miso paste, mirin, ginger, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth, then brush half the mixture over salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with remaining glaze, and bake for 12 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle roasted veggies with lime juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then serve salmon atop the vegetables with extra glaze spooned over the top.
