Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and 3 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Remove the baking sheet from oven after 20 minutes. Push vegetables to the sides and place 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets skin-side down in the center. Brush the tops of the salmon generously with the miso glaze.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the salmon with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Return to oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over salmon and vegetables before serving.
