Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp miso paste, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (skin-on) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet with 1/2 of the miso sauce, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 bunch trimmed asparagus (cut into 2-inch pieces), and 1 medium peeled sweet potato (cut into 1/2-inch cubes) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet around the salmon. Roast for 15-20 minutes until salmon reaches 145°F and vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then drizzle with remaining miso sauce and sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
