Ingredients
Scale
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound fresh snap peas, trimmed
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and sriracha, if using, until smooth. This creates your miso glaze recipe.
Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the miso glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon.
Toss the trimmed snap peas with the olive oil and sesame oil. Spread the snap peas on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space around the salmon.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Brush the remaining miso glaze over the salmon fillets.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the snap peas are tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the salmon and peas with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the salmon in the glaze for up to 30 minutes before baking.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can briefly warm the glaze mixture in a small saucepan before brushing it on the fish.
This recipe works well with other quick-cooking vegetables like broccoli florets or asparagus spears in place of snap peas.
