Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 salmon filets (6-ounce/170g each)
2 tbsp brown miso paste
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
1.5 tsp fresh ginger, grated
4 cups broccoli florets
2 cups carrots, sliced into ¼-inch thick spears
1.5 tbsp sesame oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup uncooked rice or quinoa, cooked according to package directions

Optional toppings:
Sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Pour the mixture over the salmon and brush it evenly over all surfaces. Let the salmon marinate while the oven heats and while preparing the vegetables.

In a large bowl, toss the broccoli and carrots with sesame oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Place the salmon filets on the prepared sheet pan and arrange the vegetables around them in a single layer.

Bake for 12 to 17 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice or quinoa according to package instructions.

To serve, divide the rice or quinoa among plates or bowls. Top with salmon and roasted vegetables, then garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Variations

Swap the broccoli for asparagus, snap peas, or Brussels sprouts for a different vegetable combination.

Use white miso paste instead of brown miso for a milder flavor.

Replace maple syrup with honey for a slightly sweeter glaze.

Serve the salmon over cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.

Add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the glaze for a spicy kick.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through.

You can also reheat the salmon and vegetables in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes.

For best texture, store the rice or quinoa separately if possible.

FAQs
