Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes until skin is crisp and golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon and spoon 1 tbsp miso glaze over each fillet. Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon bakes, steam 1 large head broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a small pan over medium heat, add 2 minced garlic cloves, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Stir 1 tsp soy sauce into the steamed broccoli, then toss with 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve salmon topped with remaining miso glaze and broccoli.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Miso-Glazed Salmon with Maple-Sesame Broccoli take to make?

Total time is about 30 minutes (15 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Miso-Glazed Salmon with Maple-Sesame Broccoli?

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 Maple-Sesame Broccoli?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). 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 Maple-Sesame Broccoli 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.

Is Miso-Glazed Salmon with Maple-Sesame Broccoli gluten-free?

Yes — this recipe is tagged gluten-free based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
