Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the middle and line a rimmed sheet pan. During 12 minutes of prep, cut 12 ounces salmon into 2 equal fillets, cut 3/4 pound zucchini into 1-inch pieces, remove the kernels from 2 ears corn, halve 5 ounces grape tomatoes, thinly slice 2 green onions, and grate 1 teaspoon fresh ginger.
- Pat 12 ounces salmon dry, season it with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and let it stand for 10 minutes while making the glaze and beginning to roast the vegetables.
- Stir together 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons mirin, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil; spread the glaze over the 12 ounces salmon.
- Toss 3/4 pound zucchini and the kernels from 2 ears corn with 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on the prepared pan; roast for 8 minutes.
- Stir the 3/4 pound zucchini and kernels from 2 ears corn, add 5 ounces grape tomatoes, and nestle the 12 ounces glazed salmon among the vegetables; roast for 6–8 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F at its thickest point.
- Rest the 12 ounces salmon for 3 minutes, then finish the pan with 2 sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.
- Divide the contents of the pan between 2 shallow plates, arranging 1 salmon fillet on each and spooning the glossy pan juices around it.
