Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 lb fresh snap peas, trimmed
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. This is your miso honey glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Brush half of the miso-honey glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon.
Place the trimmed snap peas on the other side of the sheet pan. Drizzle the snap peas with the olive oil and toss them lightly to coat.
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the salmon. Gently toss the snap peas.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 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 snap peas with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can briefly broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking until the glaze caramelizes slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the honey by one teaspoon.
This recipe works well with other quick-cooking vegetables like asparagus or broccoli florets.
