Ingredients
- •4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- •3 tablespoons sesame oil
- •2 tablespoons honey
- •3 tablespoons soy sauce
- •1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- •1 clove garlic, minced
- •1 teaspoon grated ginger
- •1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- •4 cups broccoli florets
- •1 tablespoon white miso paste
- •1 tablespoon olive oil
- •1 teaspoon soy sauce
- •Salt to taste
- •Pepper to taste
- •Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade for the salmon.
- 3
Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the marinade generously over the salmon, reserving a small amount for later.
- 4
In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, white miso paste, soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the broccoli on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring the florets are in an even layer for even roasting.
- 6
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon and broccoli for added flavor and texture.
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
- 8
Optional: Garnish the salmon and broccoli with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant touch before serving.
- 9
Serve immediately, either on its own or over steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of fish instead of salmon?
A: Yes, you can substitute salmon with other firm, flaky fish such as trout, arctic char, or cod. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. For thinner fillets, start checking for doneness around the 12-minute mark.
Q: What can I use as a substitute for white miso paste?
A: If you don’t have white miso paste, you can substitute it with a mild tahini or a small amount of soy sauce mixed with a touch of sugar for a similar umami flavor. However, the dish may lose some of its unique miso richness.
Q: How do I prevent the salmon from drying out?
A: To prevent the salmon from drying out, be careful not to overbake it. Check the fillets for doneness at the 15-minute mark. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and have a slightly translucent center. You can also spoon some of the reserved marinade over the salmon halfway through cooking for added moisture.
Q: Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?
A: Yes, you can use frozen broccoli, but make sure to thaw it and pat it dry with paper towels before tossing it with the seasoning. This will help prevent excess moisture and ensure the broccoli roasts properly instead of steaming.
Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
A: Absolutely! To make this recipe gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Also, double-check that your miso paste is gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat.
Q: How do I store and reheat leftovers?
A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the salmon and broccoli in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short increments, though the broccoli may lose some of its crisp texture.
Q: What can I serve with this dish for a complete meal?
A: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. You can also add a side of pickled vegetables or a simple cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich glaze.
