Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on if desired
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for glaze)
  • 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 to 2 tbsp sesame oil (for green beans)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help the glaze stick better. Place them skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, maple syrup or honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until smooth and glossy.
  3. Spoon the miso glaze evenly over each salmon fillet, spreading gently with the back of a spoon. (Time: 3 minutes)
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the salmon for 8-10 minutes until mostly cooked through. Then switch to broil on high and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to caramelize the glaze without burning.
  5. While the salmon cooks, toss trimmed green beans with sesame oil, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender and lightly blistered. Just before removing from heat, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Serve the miso glazed salmon warm alongside the crispy sesame green beans. Optionally drizzle extra soy sauce or sprinkle chopped scallions.
