Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk miso paste, maple syrup, and rice vinegar until smooth. Brush half the mixture over salmon, leaving skin-side up.
  3. Step 3: Arrange salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Scatter sliced onions and apples around salmon, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with thyme. Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and apples are golden.
  4. Step 4: Brush remaining miso glaze over salmon, then return to oven for 2 minutes to caramelize. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
