Ingredients
Salmon & Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Vegetables
- 8 ounces snap peas, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnishes (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a large plate or shallow dish and brush the miso honey marinade generously over each fillet. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat and prep pan: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange salmon and snap peas: Place the marinated salmon fillets on one side of the sheet pan. On the other side, toss the snap peas with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out evenly.
- Roast the salmon and snap peas: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the snap peas are tender-crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle the salmon and snap peas with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or your preferred side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the salmon marinate longer, up to 30 minutes, but avoid exceeding an hour to prevent the miso from overpowering the fish.
- If snap peas are unavailable, substitute with asparagus or green beans.
- Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of honey according to taste.
- Ensure even cooking by using salmon fillets of similar thickness.
- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
