Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) wild-caught salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil to make glaze. Brush evenly over 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, then let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Step 2: Toss 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced carrots with 1 tbsp soy sauce, spreading in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred at edges.
- Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down, and cook for 6-7 minutes until skin is crisp and golden, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until just opaque in the center.
- Step 4: Arrange roasted vegetables on plates, top with salmon, and drizzle with reserved glaze. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds for a final authentic touch before serving.
