Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger until smooth.
Step 2: Place 4 skin-on salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet skin-side down. Brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze.
Step 3: Toss 1 pound trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange asparagus evenly on the baking sheet around the salmon.
Step 4: Roast everything for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through (opaque and flakes easily) and asparagus is tender but crisp.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
