Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk miso paste, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Toss to coat and spread evenly.
  3. Step 3: Add asparagus to the baking sheet, drizzle with remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss gently.
  4. Step 4: Roast vegetables for 15 minutes while preparing salmon.
  5. Step 5: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with miso glaze, then place on top of vegetables. Return to oven and roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving with extra glaze drizzled on top.

How do I store leftover Miso-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Sweet Potatoes?

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 Roasted Asparagus and Sweet Potatoes?

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 Roasted Asparagus and Sweet Potatoes 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.
