Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger until smooth.

  3. Step 3: Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus and 1 pint cherry tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Arrange vegetables around salmon on the sheet pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over salmon before serving if desired.
